Supercharged 2 Posted April 1, 2011 Pretty simple - you have a small clip holding it onto the throttle butterfly - don't loose this! Then it goes though the bulkhead via a rubber bung and hooks onto the pedal - can't remember which end I started when I did mine. Just make sure the throttle micro-switches are opperating after fitting - ie the idle one is pressed when the pedal is up and when you put your foot to the floor it makes the WOT switch. Stick a little clean engine oil where the cable is exposed... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex_G60_Fanatic 0 Posted April 1, 2011 Sorry to rob the thread but If the pedal feels stiff/slow to raise would this mean the cable is on the way out or do i just need to grease the pedal hinge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
northG60 0 Posted April 1, 2011 "you have a small clip holding it onto the throttle butterfly - don't loose this!" im guessing you mean this ? if so how do you do you remove it from the cable without breaking? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
