No, just the TB, and if you're lucky, maybe not even that. If you post pictures we can have a better idea what to help with.

Holy Fauxhawk!
I ammend my offer to $900.
What straightneck is it, ZE? I have the K801 linkage, if it'll work.

Re: So i shaved my linkage and broke.....
Until OP clarifies it sounds like just broke the end of the cable - lost the throttle cable barrel. If I have guessed correctly you only need to add a barrel stop to the throttle cable. You can get screw throttle cable barrels that are typically used to shorten throttle cables. Search web or try a few auto part stores.

Re: So i shaved my linkage and broke.....
I've never really looked at the interference before....
But you know that pully rotates, right? I don't understand why or how you shaved it...
You shuold just be able to pop the pully off, its a single... 12mm? nut, with lockwashers. No need to remove IM or TB at all. Im pretty sure you can fit a crecent wrench over it.
