Re: [DML] After MArket Cruise Control Removal...Help! :)

["Jim Reeve" <jim.reeve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is not a myth and does happen.  I have seen it occur very 
frequently on some cars, but very rarely on most (like my own).  
Before you install, I would play around with your throttle spool to 
see if anything happens to your cable while your doing that.  Even if 
it doesn't I would recommend extending the channels for the main 
throttle cable with some thin sheets of aluminum (think pop can) that 
will keep it aligned with the spool when opened up.
