Last weekend I broke my year old throttle cable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I decided to order a Terry Cable (best out there?) from PParts. The cable came in on Thursday (very good shipping time from CA to VA). I installed the cable today..too longer then I thought it would. It was a pain to remove the A/C console, pedal board, and snake the cable in while the car wa on all 4's. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) After adusting the cable so I had full open and the pedal stop so I would stretch the cable. I figured I was done. As I was depressing the pedal by hand SNAP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) WTF After getting back in there I discovered the cable pulled out of the threaded piece that connects to the pedal linkage. WTF (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) So I have contacted PParts to see what they will do?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I thought the $40 cable would hold up better then this.. |

Yes to the above.
Unless PP is feeling *generous*.. you wont get your money back. I personally wouldnt give you your money back either (I can be a dick sometimes) The Terry didnt break from being defective... it broke because you have multiple issues with the tube that it slides into and linkage issues. I have pulled out gobs of rust in the past causing premature cable failures. You have told us several things: funky BS linkage/bellcrank/other failures... I have been using Terry's for over 14years now (clutch and throttle) I have never had one break that wasnt caused by something else going on in the chassis. Work out your linkage issues before you bust the vendors ass. Right now it sounds like you have a cluster f_ck for linkage. B |
