[C320-list] accelerator cable

[Doug Treff]

I recently had to do my shift cable. While in there I replaced both 
cables. You do NOT want to do this job more than once, so go ahead and 
spend the extra $40 and do both cables while you're at it. Here is a 
link on how to do this process. Assuming you have the Edson pedestal, 
this would be the procedure. The below deck part would obviously be 
different, but the steering pedestal part is the most difficult and 
non-intuitive part. The rest is fairly straight forward.

The process in the web link above worked a treat and I was able to do 
my own cable replacement and save the yard bill.
