CABLE ADJUSTMENT
(1) Shift transmission into PARK.
(2) Remove shift lever bezel and console screws.
Raise bezel and console for access to cable.
(3) Pull cable lock button up to release cable (Fig.

(4) Turn ignition switch to LOCK position.
(5) Use a spacer to create a one millimeter gap
between the shifter pawl and top of the shift gate.
(6) Pull cable forward. Then release cable and
press cable lock button down until it snaps in place.
(7) Check adjustment as follows:
(a) Check movement of release shift handle but-
ton (floor shift) or release lever (column shift). You
should not be able to press button inward or move
column lever.
(b) Turn ignition switch to RUN position.
(c) Shifting out of park should not be possible.
(d) Apply the brake and attempt to shift out of

TRANSMISSION THROTTLE VALVE CABLE
ADJUSTMENT
The transmission throttle valve is operated by a
cam on the throttle lever. The throttle lever is oper-
ated by an adjustable cable (Fig. 230). The cable is
attached to an arm mounted on the throttle lever
shaft. A retaining clip at the engine-end of the cable
is removed to provide for cable adjustment. The
retaining clip is then installed back onto the throttle
valve cable to lock in the adjustment.
A correctly adjusted throttle valve cable will cause
the throttle lever on the transmission to move simul-
taneously with the throttle body lever from the idle
position. Proper adjustment will allow simultaneous
movement without causing the transmission throttle
lever to either move ahead of, or lag behind the lever
on the throttle body.

Checking Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment

(1) Turn ignition key to OFF position.
(2) Remove air cleaner.
(3) Verify that lever on throttle body is at curb idle
position. Then verify that transmission throttle lever
(Fig. 231) is also at idle (fully forward) position.
(4) Slide cable off attachment stud on throttle body
lever.
(5) Compare position of cable end to attachment
stud on throttle body lever:
