Re: [DML] Throttle cable



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.

Hey Group:

Well, last night was it, the first time my D has broken down and left me 
sitting. 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
