Default how to replace TPS?

hey guys, I am going to get a used throttle body off a '97 A6 for it's TPS. see vid of my '96 cab here:


even at WOT it will only rev to 2k rpm. only right on startup can I get it to rev any higher. idle is fine so ICV is ok (already took out and cleaned).

so I'm wondering how to get to the TPS and replace it before I go grab the used throttle body?

if it comes with a TB, just keep it with the TB and replace it as one unit, just get a new gasket. but there are 2 screws that hold it in place, you may have to take off the TB anyways to get to it

you dont need one, its straight forward, just time consuming. i would also replace the gasket on the plastic intake side
