I'm hooking up my real 737 TQ and I have a clutch mechanism like Jack has on his throttle. I am using 1/16" steel cable attached to a short section of chain.  I had installed a pot and small nylon pully on the pot but i am having slippage issues on the cable to pulley area.  I don't want to go with anymore tension so the only idea i have is some kind of rubber coated or more grippier surface. Any other ideas.  A string pot would be best but i can't afford those now so i have to figure out a way to use regular 3 turn pots that i have on hand.
Thanks!!

Try using a ribbed pulley belt and matching pulley - all available quite cheaply from here

I am using these products for driving my throttle levers and found this outfit to be quite responsive

Here are a couple of pics. I can't change the set-up i have so i must find something to work with the cable and or chain.
