hey Guys,

My boss, the guy who got me into the porsche lifestyle, said that I should replace the throttle cable on my car, as the linkage is A: mickey mouse and B: very sticky.

The throttle sticks a LOT at low levels and like the first 10 % is not available to me.

I'll attach a picture to show what I'm working with.

My question is...how should I change the cable? do i pull from the engine bay, or from the pedal cluster? Do you guys have any tips for this process?

Thanks
