Better than the original!
I think installing this is easier than putting gas in a mower. Not only that, the part came super fast, and is much higher quality than was originally on the mower. This is why I exclusively buy the majority of my parts here!

Easy repair to make it work, not sure it was correct part.
If this was a replacement cable it was shorter than the original. I made it work by moving the connection from the left to the right side. Works good now.

I ordered the part from replacements and installed it on the mower in about 5 minutes. The only tool I needed was some wire ties to hold the cable in place on the handle. Other than that it went well and was a very easy fix. basically I just looked how the old one was on, then placed the new one in its place
