Kickdown cable

[dazandcaz]

Hi guys, i was changing the atf today when i noticed that the end has broken off the kickdown cable, hence it is no longer connected to the throttle. I've had a quick look on Rtrax and Milners and can't seem to find a replacement from there. Other than the dealers, where would be a good place to source one?

As for fitting it, the engine end looks straight forward but the gearbox looks to need the sump off. Does any one have an how-to or pics of this?

And finally, am i ok to still use the truck for a week or so until i can get the part and sort it?

Thanks

Would have thought so i used borg warner 35 box for 3 years without one only hardship is moving lever ar pressing button to change down quickly,also found it slightly more economical since wasnt pressing pedal to floor each time.
But no doubt cleverer people than me on this forum can confirm or deny

Thanks AP, hoped that would be the case but i could still do with some pointers about fitting the cable into the gearbox.
