Note: Because LS-based vehicles use different throttle linkages and pedal geometries across years and models, we recommend verifying cable routing and mounting hardware for your specific vehicle before trimming the cable.
Installation & Trimming Tips
- Measure the required routing path from throttle pedal to throttle body with the engine bay at rest and the pedal at the full-open position.
- Allow extra length for bends and mounting points; cut gradually — you can always trim more but cannot lengthen.
- Use proper end fittings and ferrules suitable for your pedal and throttle linkage. Replace any damaged retaining clips.
- After trimming and installing, verify full throttle opens completely and the idle position returns securely without binding.
- Secure routing with clips or ties away from hot exhaust components and sharp edges.
FAQ
Will this cable fit my LS swap project?
Yes — the 36" length and trim-to-fit design make it a popular choice for swaps, but confirm routing and end-fitting compatibility for your custom linkage and pedal assembly.
Can I use this with an electronic throttle body?
This product is a mechanical throttle cable intended for cable-actuated throttle assemblies. It is not compatible with electronic (drive-by-wire) throttle systems.
What if the cable frays after trimming?
Always use the correct ferrule/crimp and cable end fittings when trimming to prevent fraying. If unsure, have a professional mechanic perform the trim and install.
