what I am wondering about is ..
on any manual transmission waterboxer engine, where the cable attatches
to the throttle body lever, the thing that holds the cable where it is
thick at the end is a barrel clamp thing ..with a screw in it, with an
8mm ( 5/16 in ) hex head screw in it.
no allen screws, no clips.

the auto trans setup has a clip and is weird, but the throttle cable
doesn't go to the throttle body on an auto trans anyway.
what am I not understandinghere.
I've undone about 4,000 of them, manual trans throttle cables.
