JSP - Shortened Throttle Cable Kit Fitting Guide ST205 GT4 & ST185 GT4 -: Tools Required :-  JSP - Shortened Throttle Cable Kit Small Flat blade screwdriver 10mm Socket, Ratchet & Extension 2 x 14mm Spanners 2 x 13mm Spanners Cable Cutters / Snips ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Loosen the two 14mm nuts holding the standard cable in place.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Rotate the throttle arm (1) and slide out the throttle cable end (2).  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Follow the cable back to and note where it goes through the firewall.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Inside the car you will need to locate and undo the throttle pedals 10mm bolts. BUT BE CAREFULL These bolts shear very easily, so I recommend you spray penetrating oil on them, the back of the bolts can be found exposed in the wheel arch (this is why they shear).  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Further up the throttle pedal you will find the end of the cable and rubber mount. Unbolt the two 10mm bolts and the whole lot will pull free..  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. At the top of the pedal you will see where the cable attaches. Note the locating peg on the bracket this needs sit back here when refitting.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 . At the this point you can cut the cable as near to the end as you like, and slide the cable out free from the mount and end. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 . Pull the rest of the cable through the hole in the firewall.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9 . Once free separate the cable housing from the mount (simply pull it free).  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 . Assemble the new cable by removing the brass screw end and removing the cable itself. Then remove the rubber nub from the old adjuster and slide it onto the new adjuster.   Slide the cable back through until it comes out of the mount then slide it through the rubber pedal bush. Before refitting the brass end make sure and put the washer supplied (but not pictured), where the red arrow in the picture is.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11 . Refit the new cable as you removed the original. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Setup - 1 . Refit the brass screw end lightly as it will need to be adjusted and you don't want to damage the cable. 2. Make sure the throttle body end is adjusted right in so you have enough slack.  3. On the pedal end you should have some slack, you now need to undo the brass screw end and slide it up the cable and tighten fully to take up the slack and secure the cable. 4. Back at the throttle body end, feel for any remaining slack in the cable and if there is any, wind the cable adjuster out until the slack is taken up. 5. Start the car and make sure it idles ok, and is able to get the full range of motion. . |
