Modification of ZF Automatic
Transmission Throttle Cable
Tool 87 91 980
Application:
All 9000 Models (Automatic), 1991-
A change made to the engine's throttle housing on 1991 9000 models requires a minor modification to tool P/N 87 91 980 which is used to set the throttle
cable on the ZF automatic transmission. This modification will not affect usage of the tool on 1990 9000 models.
The throttle housing changes removed the notch at the top of the throttle bore and the location of the nipple for the AIC valve hose has been moved from
the side of the housing to the bottom. As a result the throttle cable adjustment tool must be modified as follows:
Figure 1
A.
Use a small drift to remove the metal locating pin
(A)
from the top of the tool. It is also possible to file the pin down until it is flush with the step for the throttle bore (Figure 1, Side View).
B.
If interference is experienced with the nipple for the AIC valve hose at the bottom of the bore, the underside of the tool may be filed to remove
excess material. Remove only enough material (3-4 mm) to provide clearance (Figure 1, B).
The procedure for sefting the throttle cable, as detailed in 9000 Service Manual 4, Transmission B234 News Supplement, pages 21-22, remains the same
