Brian, Depending on how and where the cable broke will determine the repair procedure. If the cable broke outside of the outer cable, replacement will be relatively easy. If the cable broke inside the outer cable it would be best to replace the entire unit; i.e.: Inner and outer. This will involve removal of the center console. The cables are available in 130" and 140". Inner core replacements are priced at $19.45. If the outer and inner sections need to be replaced they are priced at $83.50, ask for part number 100485.

I was driving and "snap!" the throttle cable broke. (right where the pedal mechanism hooks to the cable) After having someone meet me with some tools, I ended up wiring the throttle to the engine caompartment so that it was at a constant 2500 RPM's. Then, I drove the 45 minute ride home like that. Questions: how tough is it to change the throttle cable? Do I have to replace the whole thing or just the cable in the sleeve? How much does a new one cost? That was not fun. EVERYONE is looking at you in that car, as you're broke down fooling with it. Thanks Brian #16584 ________________________________________________________________________ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
