[QUOTE="Adamn, post: 14278777, member: 135019"] The last 2 times I have driven my car I noticed a hesitation when I get back on the throttle after a shift. I first noticed it when I was giving a friend a ride so I was driving it a little hard so when I drove it the other day I did a quick hit, shift, and back into the throttle real quick and it did it again. I thought it might have been the throttle body sticking so I checked that out when I got home today and that's not the issue. What I did realize though and what I believe to be the cause of the hesitation is what appears to be slack in the throttle cable. What is happening is when I go from wot then let off to shift then go back to wot the slack in the cable has to catch up causing the hesitation. I looked under the dash and noticed that I can pull back on the pedal and it moves about 2" and exposes about 1" of the cable between the stop at the end of the cable and the pedal arm. I searched and saw that people have put a 1/2" spacer between the pedal arm and the cable stop (gas pedal mod) and I'm wondering if that is what I need to do to fix my problem. [/QUOTE]
