Never done any cables before, but I think my cable is done for. I need to do the other two but those will be done whenever I get $$. Anywho, how hard is it to get the throttle cable off, and a new one put back in?

so its not a simple out comes old in goes new thing? You have to guide it through the tunnel and such?


i'm thinking the source of my tight throttle is a huge metal hairball somewhere in my throttle cable thats preventing proper movement with some level of ease.

of course you have to guide it in...you expect to lay it on the floor and it go in all by itself??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)


tip: tie a piece of string to the cable on the inside of the car before you pull the cable out....

also, a small mirror and flashlight is useful to be able to look into the tunnel to ensure that you are not tangled up with the clutch cable
