Traction control to throttle body cable replacement options? Car is a 97 Z28. The part of the throttle cable that slides into the throttle cable bracket on the throttle body is severely damaged. The cable I am talking about is the one from the throttle body to the traction control module.
Does anyone know the P/N of the OEM? Or perhaps an aftermarket replacement or even if a universal cable assembly can be used?

I sent him an e-mail. I can't see why a universal cable won't work, but I was wondering if the part of the cable that had the spring with the adjustment feature in is what I should be worried about.

Are there no alternative options?
This is what my cable looks like now. Try going WOT and the cable sometimes gets pulled through the bracket. Even if it does't get pulled through I can only get 2/3 of the throttle plates open.
