I'm swapping transmissions, and have an issue with the cable mentioned in the title (throttle cable):
The old transmission's cable is crushed inside the transmission (I opened it up and bolted something down onto it I believe, crushing the "bead end" that goes into the small "cam".
The new one's plastic piece that slides onto the nub on the throttle body is broken.
I'm assuming the transmission won't work without this piece, is there a way to swap out the plastic piece onto the new one? The ends of the metal cable are seemingly held together by a metal "clamp bead" that doesn't look like I even could remove it, and if I can, it won't go back on. I'd get a new one, but it seems to have to be special ordered, and I was really hoping to get this job done today (need to drive about 3.5 hours to hopefully be at work tomorrow, though at this point it isn't looking good). Any help would be appreciated, and thank you in advance!
