Throttle Valve Cable/Linkage: Adjustments

Fig. 6 T.V. Cable & Linkage:

Fig. 7 Throttle Lever & Bracket Assembly:

The TV cable should not be thought of as an automatic downshift cable. It controls line pressures, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and detent downshifts. The function of the cable is similar to the combined functions of a vacuum modulator and detent downshift cable. The TV cable operates throttle lever and bracket assembly, Figs. 6 and 7.

Fig. 8 T.V. Cable Adjustment:

1. Stop engine.
2. Depress and hold down readjust tab, Fig. 8, move slider through fitting, away from lever assembly, until slider stops against fitting.
3. Release readjust tab, then open throttle lever to its full throttle position to automatically adjust cable.
4. Release throttle lever and check cable for sticking or binding. The cable may appear to function properly with engine stopped and cold. Recheck cable with engine at normal operating temperature.
5. Road test vehicle.
