Re: Quick question...what is the name of this part

it's hard to tell from such a small pic... could it be where the linkage of the cruise control hooks up to the trottle body?

Re: Quick question...what is the name of this part

its just the clip of the tv cable. i think you have to replace the whole cable. its a really easy task. make sure you adjust it before you start driving.

And don't drive it like this with the clip detached, you can damage your transmission very quickly!

When mine broke I rigged it with clips and string to hold it right in place until the dealer could track me down a replacement.

Its like a $24 part from your Chevy dealer and it doesn't take long to fix. Don't let it go, its really important!
