[V8] Fwd: Warning - V8 Trans

[Buchholz, Steven]

... I was thinking about this one on my way home from work last night ...
when the cable on my 5kQ Avant went I used a hose clamp to attach the frayed
end to the cruise control arm ... worked pretty well actually ... then I
thought of the following ... you can always tap into the cruise control
actuator with a length of hose ... and control the throttle by sucking on
the hose ... ;-)  ;-)
