Gearshift Linkage and Throttle Cable

Gearshift Linkage
Gearshift linkage adjustment is important because it positions the valve body manual valve. Incorrect adjustment will cause creeping in Neutral, premature clutch wear, delayed engagement in any gear, or a no-start in Park or Neutral position.
Proper operation of the [1][2]park/neutral position switch will provide a quick check of linkage adjustment.

Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment
Throttle valve cable adjustment is important to proper operation. This adjustment positions the throttle valve which controls shift speed, quality and part throttle downshift sensitivity.
If cable setting is too short, early shifts and slippage between shifts may occur. If the setting is too long, shifts may be delayed and part throttle downshifts may be very sensitive.
