There is much more of a chance of the cable sticking than the engine mount breaking allowing the engine to torque enough to cause WOT.

I have had a number of vehicles in the past with cables that stuck, only one with a broken engine mount that would cause this problem and even with a cable it caused the same situation. (68 Firebird 400 with cable).

Using this logic seems more of a way of justifying your setup than reality. After all, push the clutch in and let her blow!

I'm in much more danger from my showing out than equipment failure in one of these cars!
