  1. Hello Wrench Princess!

    I have found the link to detailed instructions for replacing throttle cable you posted back in 2004, but the link seems no longer valid.

    I am trying to replace the throttle cable on my 95 Legacy Brighton... can't see how to withdraw the cable from inside the firewall.

    I can't do the contortionist thing the way I used to, so I'm hoping I can disconnect under the dash with one hand AND do it by feel.

    Thanks for your help!

    Please don't be offended but I am explaining this in a very basic way.

    Your throttle cable goes through the little square hole on the firewall. On the pedal side of the throttle cable is a square peice of plastic that has two little tab type things on it. You stick that end through the hole in the firewall and the tabs hold it against the firewall. Now I am not clear on whether or not that is all you needed to know. If your cable broke then the plastic end from your old cable is probably still attached to the firewall. There was another post on how to change a throttle cable last week where I gave a detailed description of how to take the old throttle cable out that will tell you how to get the plastic part out of the firewall. Here is a link to that post if you need it.
