Article No. 85-9-24SAG - HESITATION; 1-2 UPSHIFT - 2.3L HSC ATX
FORD 1984 TEMPO
LINCOLN-MERCURY 1984 TOPAZ
Sag/hesitation during the 1-2 upshift may be caused by improper transmission TV control linkage adjustment. The TV adjustment should be made using the following procedure.
1. Operate engine until normal operating temperature is reached and all accessories are off. Assure that the hot engine curb idle speed is to specification. Refer to the Engine/Emissions Diagnosis manual.
NOTE: The linkage cannot be properly set if the throttle lever is allowed to be on the choke fast idle cam.
CAUTION: The following steps involve working in proximity to the EGR system. Care must be taken to avoid contact with hot parts.
2. If the TV control rod assembly must be removed, refer to External TV Control Linkage Removal and installation, 1984 Shop Manual, Section 24-60.
^ Loosen the bolt on the sliding trunnion block on the TV control rod assembly one turn minimum.
^ Remove any corrosion from the control rod and free-up the trunnion block so that it slides freely on the control rod.

3. With the engine idling in Park, rotate the transaxle TV control lever up using one finger and a light force, 4.5N (approximately 1 pound), to insure that the TV control lever is against its internal idle stop. Without relaxing the force on the TV control lever, tighten the bolt on the trunnion block to specifications. (See Figure 26).
