What year and model is the tranny & throttle cables you're trying to install? You can use a 97-01 Prelude throttle cable, fits like a glove and there's no extra slack like the F22 stock throttle cable.

The cable should just slips onto the Skunk2 TB with no problem if thats what you're saying. Kind of confused here.

What I am hearing is: There are three cables going to a stock CD5 throttle body, the one to the inside pedal, the one to the transmission, and the one to the cruise control. The cruise control is not problem. It bolts to the throttle body. The one to the trans is a problem. It and the inside pedal cable are both connect to the same shaft. The Skunk throttle body has only one place to connect a cable, the stock body has two. I have been wondering about this myself and have not really found a solution. If the car was a manual trans, no problem.

Yeah, me too.

Maybe, ... I could get another CD5 throttle body, take out the shaft and swap it into a Skunk body? That's a solution I would like to avoid. Don't even know if it would fit properly.

well right now all we did were get a piece of flexible metal and pinch the 2 cables together for now it worked ....hopefully somebody comes out with a automatic friendy throttle body or maybe a braket of some sort.
