Hello!

hey guys , I havent been to this board in a long while. I'm getting the camaro back on the road for the summer. I just wanted to ask you guys a question about kick-down cables. Mine snapped right near the carb , does anyone know if I gotta replace the whole thing , or can I repair it somehow? If I gotta replace it , is it hard to replace ??? Thanks guys

Andrew

yes you basically have to change the whole cable,no way that im aware of to repair a busted cable,unless you ******* jury rig it somehow

replacing them isnt that hard though,and there like 25 bucks

Damn, that's gotta hurt. Hrm... been a while since I've chatted with you rich, had no idea you were working in a hot tub factory... Must be Coast Spas on the By-Pass?
