I bought the clamps but used zip ties. They made life easier.

yea it will work on an auto. you dont really need pics...trust me. just go crawl under the dash and look at the throttle cable end by your gas pedal and you will see exactly what to do. if you really want pics i can go out and take a few of what i did. mine is different becuase i did mine a long time ago before the write-up was made.

yes it will work if ur car is 99-04. but the 99 and the 00 need it the most....ill give u a link with detailed directions. http://<a href="http://www.mustangwo...ble adjustment
i used the nylon spacers with zip ties and it seems solid so far...jus dont slam on the gas way too hard. and unhooking the cable from under the hood is not necessary

it was practically the same, i found a couple little black plastic things...they were just sittin in my house...very simmilar to the spacers, they had a really small hole in the middle. just big enough for the cable. i cut a very small slit in them and forced them onto the cable....no clamps or anything. they just poped on and will stay there unless i rip them off.

yea i think when using the spacers or similar things the clamps or zip ties are only there to prevent the cable from coming out of the slit. otherwise they would be fine without the ties or clamps
