    Pay close attention to the clamp screw procedure. Failure to do so can result in loss of control of the shift/throttle function! In messing with these type cables this is the most common mistake I see when I get them.

    Yeah, and another tip: It’s been a long time since I’ve bought a new cable, so I don’t know if this still applies or not. But back in "the day", OMC cables came already annealed, but Teleflex did not. You can tell by looking at the end of the wire. If annealed, it will be discolored. If not annealed, you can’t put the proper kink in the wire and the end is apt to slip off.
