I just had to replace the cable im my daughter's 914 at an auto-x this past saturday. Both ends on the outer housing were lose and had lots of internal corrosion. Found that the pivot at the pedal was very sticky too and some super lube freed it up after a while. I hung up the new cable and ran some super lube down inside till it ran out the bottom. The wire was super free and smooth. The old cable was stuck onto the tube coming out of the firewall and I had to grip it with pliers and tap it lose. I forgot to remove the nut, which you have to do to get the cable out. I also tapped the new one on slightly to seat it. I also had to make sure no parts were touching the heat exchangers and there were no kinks or sharp bends. Works very nice now. I plan to do the race car tomorrow if the rain goes away. We are pretty lucky to have cables that can be replaced, it would have been real bad to have the "electronic cable" break! Good luck.
