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

  1. 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.
  2. Allow extra length for bends and mounting points; cut gradually — you can always trim more but cannot lengthen.
  3. Use proper end fittings and ferrules suitable for your pedal and throttle linkage. Replace any damaged retaining clips.
  4. After trimming and installing, verify full throttle opens completely and the idle position returns securely without binding.
  5. 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.
