    I think that's what this cable is called. It's the one that shares the pully
    with the throttle cable on my '92 240. It's been sticking and while a little
    oil seems to fix it, it may also just need to be replaced or other wise
    repaired. Could a guy disconnect it at the tranny end, and flush it with
    solvent, and then a light oil or something?

    Jeff - After that cable moves in and out in its housing
    a few million times, the smooth coating wears away and the cable binds
    up. Get a new one. Richard W.
