how do I make this work? I had the older style cable with the black rectangle thingy and the metal collar that slides over and locked it into place but I cant find it. Went to pickapart today and this was the only cable I could find. unfortunately the ip and whatever this piece slides onto was missing. Anyone know what im looking for or where to find it? or would anyone have a few inches of the cable with the locking part (gotta hack 2 cables together and just need the portion to attach it to the throttle arm).
The black plastic part has a hole in it that snaps on to the ball. The metal clip slides over the plastic part to keep them together.
Let me check the spare parts box and see if I have what it is you are looking for. Will be tomorrow morning before I can do that. Light of day is gone and looking in a dark box for a black part, well lets just say my eyes are not too cat like.
Will let you know if I find it.
Sorry for the large pic imgur wont let me resize them anymore for whatever reason. I know what you are describing its what my old cable was like. the new one I pulled from a jetta aaz (1994 I believe) has a rectangular tip with a rectangular hole in it. I'm thinking there was some kind of rubber bushing or something that snapped onto the ball and then this cable snapped ontop of it. Before today I had never seen this style and I cant even find anything online that looks like it.
heres the link to the pic ill remove it from the original post so its not stupidly large

Well I cleared out all three of the boxes of spare parts and I come up empty handed. At least for that throttle cable. I did find an old clutch cable and a couple of other pull type cables you would use on a lawnmower or something steady RPM.
Sorry, I really thought I had one. I know how this goes too. In a month I will stumble on it in an entirely unrelated place and wonder how it got there. Parts Gremlins I think.
Lol all good man. Thanks for looking. I'll hook it up with a zapstrap until i can find a proper cable end
