A motion transmitting remote control assembly (10) for transmitting forces along a curved path by a motion transmitting core element (14) includes a guide means and a motion transmitting core element (14) moveably supported by the guide means. A support wall (16) for supporting the guide means has a predetermined thickness (18) between opposite surfaces and an inwardly extending periphery defining a pocket (20). The guide means includes a fitting (21) defining an annular groove (22). The groove (22) has a predetermined diameter (23) and a predetermined width (25) perpendicular to the diameter (23). The periphery of the pocket (20) is disposed in the groove (22) whereby the support wall (16) supports the fitting (21). First and second abutments (36),(38) are disposed on the support wall (16). A U-shaped retainer clip (24) has legs (26) extending from a base (28) and terminating in distal ends (30) with the base (28) and the legs (26) disposed in the groove (22). The distal ends (30) extend out of the groove (22) and engage the abutments for retaining the fitting (21) in the pocket (20). Each of the distal ends (30) includes a catch (32). The distance between the catches (32) is less than the predetermined diameter (23) whereby the clip (24) is retained in the groove (22). The retainer clip (24) comprises a wire the legs (26) of which are movable relative to one another in a spring-like action. The distal ends (30) are biased apart and into engagement with the abutments.
