I searched the archives and find lots of posts on corroded and broken accelerator cables but nothing that really described replacing this cable. Just wondering how difficult it is. Near the auto transmission my cable is rusty and corroded because the boot that covers it has pulled away from its attachment point. When I press the accelerator pedal to the floor--it sticks--and then a few moments later it releases. I have dried to spray WD40 onto the cable and this has only been marginally effective. There are also a couple of coolant hoses in the way that prevent me from actually touching this cable. Bentley has pictures but gives no direction as to how to replace it only talks about adjustment. Just wondering if any one has done the R/R of this cable? Wondering if threading a new cable back through is difficult? Do you thread from back or front? Do I need to replace the plastic sheathing? Is adjustment difficult? TIA Tim 90 Multivan Automatic --
