Bill,
I have never had to do this on a Syncro but the common method is to use the broken cable to pull through the new one but this can depend on where it is broken. With any luck, the RACQ man will be well versed in bush mechanics and might have useful advice.

Broken throttle cable 175km north Charleville.
Hi all. About an hour ago we broke a throttle cable 175km north of Charleville. We were avertaking a 3 dog road train at the time. Marg and i are now on the side of the road waiting for the racq to come out from Charleville to pick us up. Due to the wunders of technology we have help on the way,a spare cable on the way to Charleville by air freight, hopefully there by monday or tuesday and are booked into the ccobb and co caravan park tonight. My question is how do you refit the cable it looks like a nightmare? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I can't believe i didn't have a spare. Help Bill and Marg.

Bill, when it happened to me, I had to replace the hard plastic sleeve first, because the old one was broken in several places. If yours still ok it’s just a matter of pulling the broken one out and pushing the new one in. You might find that there is a slight modification ness at the rear end, can’t remember though but you will work that one out. I think there is a little ball crimped to the end which has to be cut of or something similar......... Hope you make it to Valla / of course you will.!! H.

Charleville.
I have noticed driving both my old man's T3 syncro and mine that the accelerator cable with a VW engine is much stiffer than my Scooby powered T3 syncro. Probably putting a lot more strain on the cable.
There was a significant difference between the two to the point my ankle became sore after an hours driving my dad's syncro. Mine you don't even notice it.
I know I am a wouse but there may be a tension issue there?
Cheers,
Skot

Much more likely to be inadequate lubrication along the very long cable run.
