Inga (my 86 245DL Auto 269K) has been humming along for a few months now pretty much trouble free. Yesterday on the way to the house noticed that she was not climbing up the onramp with her normal zip. Figured out that there was no downshift when you hit the accelerator. Popped the hood today and the kick down cable has snapped off right at the throttle body.

Have not opened the Bentley yet but i seem to remember that the pan has to come off. Looking forward to that dipstick pan nut if does.

Questions,

How big a job is it?

Volvo or aftermarket cable?

Any tips or things to watch or check?

Regards,

Paul
