Idle cable linkage and manual shutoff info...
My cable end broke on my idle, and I dont really know what type of end is supposed to be on it! Cable I have seen at fastlane, have a fishing sinker appearence ball on the end of the cable. On my 1980 240D I can see where that will work, as it fits into a little plastic circle on the shut off arm. BUT, on my 1979 240 D, I don't have the little plastic circle, I just have a verticle slot. Nobody can seem to tell me what type cable is supposed to fit in there. I am attaching a picture, so you can take a look. I suppose I can just use the cable that fastlane has available, cut the end off, slide the cable through the slot and fasten a cable stop to the end?
