Initial Inspection and Adjustment

1. Check and adjust the shift linkage.


2. Verify line pressure cable operation. Repair or replace the cable if it binds or is damaged.


3. Check engine throttle operation. Have a helper press the accelerator to the floor and observe carburetor/injector throttle plate movement. Adjust the linkage if the throttle plate does not reach wide open position.


4. Check and adjust the line pressure cable if necessary.

5. Check transmission fluid level. Start the engine and shift the transmission from Park to 1-2 and back to Park. Correct level is to the Full mark on the dipstick with the engine at curb idle speed and the fluid at normal operating temperature (hot). Add or drain fluid as necessary if level is incorrect.


6. Check and adjust the neutral safety switch if necessary.


7. Check TPS adjustment and operation. Adjust or replace the sensor if necessary.
