Throttle Cable Replacement **Now In Progress** :) Options

[JustinMeier]

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.

Something like that anyway

Anybody want to add anything else or does this pretty much cover it?

Maybe you should let dad work on his car?

Too soon?

If you were joking, it was probably inappropriate, and it caused me a horribly guilty laugh, but I never met the guy.

From the little I have heard of him, I am guessing he'd be laughing his (all too public) ass off at that line, though.

In fact, his attitude was clearly:



(I sketched that from memory about three days after the original was burned into my eyes in the pics thread)

Sorry I missed him, he sounds a hell of a good guy. No doubt he's saying something about the lengths he had to go to finally turn his kid into a 914 mechanic. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

He will be riding along with you in the curves, Justin, the GG probably has a real G in residence now. Wouldn't surprise me if each new little problem on the car is *just* beyond the complexity of the last. By the time you need to do the big stuff, you will have learned how by doing the little jobs. Listen to those little tricky ideas you will get when you're stumped in the shop; it might be him with the tip you need...

His sarcastic spirit will be with you in the shop as well, chuckling at your mistakes. Don't mourn your loss, celebrate and cherish your time together.

(Thats more than I meant to add when I started this post, but I hadn't yet added my condolences, as I never met Slits. Figure it's about time if I am commenting here)
