Throttle Cable
NOTE:
Adjust accelerator controls so transmission throttle lever is at zero throttle position with throttle closed. If adjustment is incorrect, shift speeds and transmission main line pressure will also be incorrect.
- Remove throttle control cover. Disconnect cruise control linkage (if equipped). Loosen throttle cable adjusting nuts and remove accelerator cable-top-mounting bracket retaining clip.NOTE: Pressure point for full throttle position of accelerator pedal must be about 5/8-13/16" (16-20 mm) from pedal stop.
- Turn throttle cable cam to full throttle position and hold. Insert a11/16" shim between accelerator pedal and pedal stop. Push pedal until it touches spacer and hold pedal in this position.
- Pull accelerator pedal cable housing until all slack is removed. Install locking clip. Lightly pull transmission throttle cable until spring pressure (resistance) of transmission kickdown is felt.
- Turn adjusting nut (closest to transmission) against bracket and tighten other nut. Release throttle cable cam and accelerator pedal. Remove spacer and install throttle control covering.
