QUOTE(SLITS @ Jul 16 2009, 07:04 PM)  There are no tricks ... Remove carpets, pedal board, center console (if installed), center tunnel inspection plate and driver's seat Pop connector at pedal loose and remove ball connector and nut. Disconnect cable from throttle body in engine compartment and push it down thru the engine tin. Crawl under car and pull the sheath loose from the firewall and pull cable out of tube. push new one back thru and secure metal end on stub in firewall. You can push the sheathing back up through the engine tin. Back in the car, fish the throttle cable end out of the center tunnel. Using a mirror, make sure it is not wrapped around the clutch cable. Put the lock nut on threaded end, screw the ball connector on and snap it on the bell crank. Reassemble remainder of interior. Go to engine compartment, secure sheathing to mount, pull cable and secure with barrrel connector to throttle body. Wella ....................... Something like that anyway Anybody want to add anything else or does this pretty much cover it? |

One issue.. The new cable doesn't slip around the tube going in to the tunnel. It looks like this one is just a bit smaller than the old one, I'm sure it will eventually rub and break but I should be good for now 'till I get another one in, right?

I just replaced mine and had the same problem ( Cofle brand). It didn't seem like it fully went on the end of the tube. I jammed it on as hard as I could. I had to un-thread the ball end to just a few threads in order for the cable to reach the throttle body. I didn't pull it out to compare parts side by side since I already had it installed. It would be nice to know if there is a aftermarket cable that fits a bit better. |
