I think I'm in trouble TV cable replace gone bad
I know I should post a picture of this, but I was hoping someone who is familiar with the throttle cable on a TBI with a 700R4 could help. I was replacing mine today (87' V10 w/350)and when I disconnected the end from the transmission, it kind of popped out. No problem I thought, but when I looked at the small "hook" that the eye end of the cable hooks to, I can't see how the hook stays in the eye hole. Thus I think I broke it. I can see how the hook in the tranny hooks to the end of the cable, but how does the hook stay in the eye? Everytime I try to put it back in, it pops out. The factory repair manual doesn't state anything about a clip and the hook in the diagram looks like mine. Just a hook with a straight top that slides in. If it looked more like a fish hook I could see how it would stay, but it looks like a fish hook that the end broke off of. If I don't get an answer I will try and post a pic, but I had to leave the gargae before I lost it! FRUSTRATING!!
