The original kick down or Throttle Cable Assembly for a 95 to 97 FZJ80 with the A343F transmission has been discontinued for about a year, that's been discussed on the forum in the past.
However I started searching around trying to find a replacement for that cable (Cable Assembly, Throttle) 35520-60140 and came across 35520-60111 which is still available but fits the earlier models (93-94)
So for grins I ordered the Throttle Cable Assy, 35520-60111, which was used on earlier FZJ80 models with the A442F transmisison (which itself is a supercession from 35520-60010) and come to find that it's not exactly the same in appearance regarding the heat insulation sleeve for the later years of FZJ80. Instead of a heat reflective insulation sleeve it has a foam tube around most of the cable (see photos below).
The length of the part for the early models (35520-60111) is ~42 inches from the tip of the red rubber on the TB end to the tip/end of the black plastic part that goes inside the transmission.
So bottomline I'd like to compare an original cable for the 95-97 FZ80 model, 35520-60140, to 35520-60111. If someone has an original kick down cable from a 95 to 97 FZJ80 laying around it would help. Main info needed is the length of an original cable along with photos including both ends but particularly the end that connects to the transmission.
Point of this is, if the only difference between the cables is in the foam sleeve then a heat reflective insulation sleeve could be added.
