I was wrapping things up from a head swap on a 2001 Z28. I was hooking the throttle cables back up to the throttle body and noticed the cable with the black plastic piece had a little tab inside broken. It still clips on to the linkage but not very tight. Just wondering if anybody else has run into this problem before and if you can change it out or would the whole cable have to be changed out. Thanks for any help.
