Throttle Valve Cable (Kickdown Cable): Service and Repair
Installation
1. Install a new O-ring (arrow).
2. Withdraw cable slightly, insert cable in transmission and press sheath into transmission gear case.
3. Attach cable to throttle cam.
4. Route cable with sheath assembly to engine compartment. Attach cable sheath loosely to throttle pulley bracket.
5. Install cable clip:
Pull out cable until light resistance is felt i.e. light preload. Hold cable in this position and attach clip 0.25-1.0 mm (0.01-0.04 in) from cable
sheath end. This is idle position.
Ensure that throttle cable is not loose. Max. play 0.5 mm (0.02 in).
6. Connect cable to throttle pulley. Adjust clip position.
Depress accelerator to floor.
NOTE: Do not move throttle pulley by hand otherwise adjustment may be false.
Adjust cable sheath position so that clip is pulled out 50.4 - 52.6 mm (1.98 - 2.07 in) when accelerator is depressed fully.
When correctly adjusted, cable should be tight in idle position and can be pulled out a further 2 mm (0.08 in) in full throttle position.
If extended length is less than 50.4 mm (1.98 in), check that throttle pulley turns fully between stops.
B27/28: Install air filter.
7. Install oil pan and oil filler tube.
8. Fill transmission with ATF and top up.
