Reconnect your accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage with the Pioneer Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8575. It is cataloged as a replacement for the 1975 Volkswagen Dasher. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
An accelerator cable is the mechanical link between the pedal and the carburetor. When you press the pedal, the cable pulls the throttle open, and when you release it, the throttle can return toward idle. Pioneer builds its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, made to OE specs.
- Steel inner cable: a durable steel inner cable carries the pedal's movement to the throttle linkage.
- Polymer outer housing: surrounds the inner cable to protect it from corrosion and abrasion.
- Built to OE specs: Pioneer manufactures its cables to original-equipment specifications.
- Common hardware where applicable: Pioneer notes that its cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where the application calls for them.
Signs this part may need replacing: a sticking or stiff accelerator pedal, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, or a cable that is frayed, kinked or stretched. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because throttle linkage or carburetor issues can produce similar symptoms.
