Need Help Finding Cable For Kickdown LInkage - 02/02/09 02:55 AM

I was removing my carb and since it was cold in the garage, the plastic end of the kickdown cable cracked. I looked and for a new cable it costs $100, which I think is crazy. Does anybody know of a different source for this, I am assuming there is none.

Why not call them tomorrow and see if they will sell you just the end, and mention why ?

I looked at the end and it looks like it is kind of molded over the cable and wouldn't be possible to just replace the end. I will call them however.

Gotcha...thought it might have been a loose one that you could slide off easy

You can slide it down just not off.

Why cut you cut the tipof the cable off and then when you get the new piece use a brass barrel with a screw in it to keep it from coming back off. There should be enough cable to make up for the bit you cut off.

Maybe, but what I am thinking now is to drill a hole in the plastic end since just the connector on the side broke off and put a bolt through the hole and attach it to the carb. Should work and cost $0.50

Check with a motorcycle or snowmobile repair shop, there are several different type cable end repair fittings, the one below is an example:
