So, while I was under my car earlier this week, I noticed that my (essentially) brand new Terry throttle cable was tearing apart. The sheath was separating from the metal nipple that attaches to the firewall.
This car has been driven under 5 miles since I installed the cable 1 year ago. I bought the Terry cable as the board opinion seemed to be that they made a better product then OEM. I now need to replace the cable. Should I rebuy Terry or do I need to source an OEM cable. In other words, do people here still think Terry is superior, and I just got the bad luck of the draw - or am I on crack and should have gone OEM in the first place. Zach |
