Installed a new tv cable on my 97 5.9 since i broke the retaining clip, while removing the throttle body to clean the quarter million miles of gunk out of it.Genuine Mopar/mexico part bought from my local dealership,said no adjustments needed.When installing,lever on transmission full forward/idle,throttle lever at closed,hooked it up and it is way to tight, can barely move the lever with extreme force.Cable is routed just like original.I'm guessing i do need to adjust this? and I've looked at so many sites I'm tired of looking,somebody get me down the road again,please.

 

Let me correct myself,the lever on tranny was in forward position,but had to pull it back to get the ball clip on it

 

I think they printed the wrong label. The "No" in No adjustment required shouldn't have been there.

 

lol Thanks,I don't "know" how to adjust it .Everyone seems to have a different way of doing it.

 

have a 1/2 inch of play in the cable right now.

 

Shouldn't be any play in the cable...... is it binding somewhere?

 

the lever on the the tranny needs to be all the way forward "at rest if you will" when its shut off correct?

 

no, i even removed it from the clips,not binding.Installed in the bracket off the throttle body i can pull it about 1/2 an inch.

 

Disconnect it from both ends, see how much cable travel you get.

If that's ok, check and make sure nothing is binding externally on the lever on the trans. (and the springs allow it full movement.)

After that, check and make sure you can open the throttle all the way by hand, and that nothing is binding there....

Seems strange that this should screw up now.....

 

I should say that's all the cable moves,you step on the pedal it wont hit 1000rpm
