The A442F cable is still available
Got it. I ordered it from CruiserParts. $150 for a used cable. Is this typical for Toyota to drop parts like that?
Good luck with those guys......Got it. I ordered it from CruiserParts. $150 for a used cable. Is this typical for Toyota to drop parts like that?
The cable is broken at the joint. When you press the gas pedal, it engages the kickdown. When you let go, it does not return. I have the transmission pan off and can see it. When I jiggle the cable at the top it sometime returns. I have to wiggle it at the break above the cable clamp.
I am thinking that I can lubricate it all I want, but sticking at the spot where the cable housing broke is still going to be an issue.
Strange that this part is not available. Neither new nor used. ?????
What's the length on that cable?My adventure with the transmission on my 1997 FJ80 continues. I used the flat scraper on the oscillating tool to make a small spot to get a thin putty knife in and was able to run it around the edge to clear out the FIPG.
Since my kick-down cable sticks (it does not return), I bought a new cable and was planning to install it. On closer inspection, I saw that the cable had separated here at the arrow and is catching.

However, when I got under the truck, I realized that I had an issue. This is what the end of the new cable looks like. It is the Toyota OEM cable.

This is what the connector of the current cable looks like. They obviously look different. Plus I dont see an easy way of getting that cable out of there short of completely breaking it apart (which will be a challenge with the angle that it sits in).

Any suggestions / help?
Ordered, order was canceled. Probably a mistake unless someone beat me to it and bought the last one they had.Update: Lexuspartsnow still carries the 35520-60140 kickdown cable for 96/97s
Liquid Wrench "Chain and Cable Lube" is what I used when my throttle cable was notchy.Anyone have any tips for lubricating the cable? Mine doesn’t return when I let off the throttle
Thanks! I’ll give it a tryLiquid Wrench "Chain and Cable Lube" is what I used when my throttle cable was notchy.
If you do a quick search in the "Discontinued Parts" thread, you'll notice Onur already advised it's discontinued.My order got canceled too. Apparently I spoke to soon
I knew this going in, but when someone says something like this is in stock, I'm not hesitating on pulling the trigger. It's usually just an error like this (it happens a lot) so it doesn't hurt to try unless it's a shady website.If you do a quick search in the "Discontinued Parts" thread, you'll notice Onur already advised it's discontinued.
If he says so, it is so.
This discontinue parts list has had me wondering if, when the time comes, if it comes, that my power train, or a portion of it, requires major work or replacement, would it be wise to just do a repower with more modern power train components. Or, kick this habit all together.If you do a quick search in the "Discontinued Parts" thread, you'll notice Onur already advised it's discontinued.

Enough said....It's only money.
I heard that we’re discontinued. I thought I found an Indiana Jones level lost treasure trove because they said they had them in stockIf you do a quick search in the "Discontinued Parts" thread, you'll notice Onur already advised it's discontinued.
