Yesterday the plastic connector that holds the throtle valve cable to the underside of the throtle body broke. Not the throtle cable mind you, the one that goes to my AOD. I was able to tie it back on well enough to get home and hit up the junkyards today but couldn't find one.

I recall reading in another post about a new one from Ford for a few bucks, but the guys at the dealer have no idea what I'm talking about and was hoping someone could provide the part number I need.

I haven't dissassembled it yet, but I'm assuming that I can just replace the plastic piece that pops in and that I don't have to replace the whole cable right?

Thanks for any help, you guys are awesome.

I saved this -- I think it might be what you are talking about:

F3SZ-7H303-B

That is the part number for a brass bushing that replaces the plastic one that attached to the TB. Hope it helps!

definetely get the brass bushing instead of getting a new plastic one. The brass bushing is reusable since it has a hairpin style clip. When ever I have had to take of the TV cable with the plastic bushing it alway meant new bushing.

Thank you very much. I'll stop by the dealer tomorrow and see if that's it.

That was it, the brass bushing goes in from the top, the throtle valve linkage from the bottom and the hairpin clip holdes it in place.

It was about $5 from my dealer, they didn't have it listed as what it is, but it works.

This is just a follow-up to let future searchies know that it fixed the problem.

Thanks.

A friend of mine needed one of those and he had to buy 4 or 5 (in a package) for 15 bucks or so (just to let people know). This was in Michigan.

That's how they came to my dealership, they broke it up though and only sold me one.
