c16xe has a cup and ball fitting on TB end and x16xe has a barrel at the end. Easy job, 10 mins max

unhook from pedal, un hook from throttle body, feed out through hole in bulkhead.

Feed in new cable and hook up both ends

Just noticed you have a wonderful c16xe

make sure you don't buy an x16xe cable as it wont fit.

Also, don't lose the little pin that holds the cable cup on the throttle body ball fitting

so the inlet manifold doesn't need to come off. If i feed it through from the pedal end it will find its own way to the throttle body (hope that makes sense)

take both ends off but leave the cable in place, attach new cable to old cable and pull the old one through from one end. The new one will fall into the right place hopefully
