Re: 5.7 gla throttle cable obsolete ????
The throttle cable isn't Volvo.
It's probably Morse or Teleflex.
On one end or the other(pray it's on the carb end) is a bunch of numbers stamped in there.
Might be in inches or feet.
Just copy the #s and on this site I think they sell cables.
If not Amazon has them.
I replaced all 4 of mine for under 90$
The shift cable the same.The shifter your gonna need to take it off anyway so hope the #s are at the shifter on this one.
If not the cable will need to taken out to find the #s.
My cables are all the same length,yours might be different lengths so make sure of the lengths.
Make sure you get the right length,1 foot too short isin't good.Too long isn't either.
Had a customer complain about poor shifting after replacing the cables.
Turns out he had some cables from a 35ft and used then in his 19.
He had them looped around and the loops made the shifting sloppy.
Volvo made it simple and used a basic cable,nothing fancy.
