Works well as ordered.

Every owner should have one of these with them at all times. A broken accelerator cable could strand you for days as it did me, when the repair takes about one hour to perform and you’re back on the road.

Easy install

It was very easy to install and works great.

Great replacement cable

It would be helpful if GoWesty also offered the boot that goes at the accelerator end. These are available, and while we are in there replacing the cable, that's the time to replace the boot.

Works well

Real easy to replace too!

I purchased the manual accelerator cable. It was missing the small little clip that holds it to the bracket attached to the transmission. I'm not finding it on the site either.

GoWesty

Unfortunately, we don't offer the c-clip that connects the sheathing of the accelerator cable to the bracket on the transaxle. Normally you would reuse your clip. That said, you can likely take the cable to your local hardware store to find a c-clip that fits the grooved metal sheeting end piece.
