RWD Models

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1988 Plymouth Gran Fury, 1988 Dodge Diplomat, and 1988 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Ensure carburetor is not on fast idle cam and idle speed is correctly set. Raise vehicle on hoist to make adjustment at transmission throttle lever. Loosen adjustment swivel lock screw. Swivel must be free to slide along flat end of throttle rod so that preload spring action is not restricted.
  2. Hold transmission lever firmly forward against its internal stop, and tighten swivel lock screw. This completes throttle rod adjustment, as linkage backlash was automatically removed by the preload spring.
  3. To check linkage freedom of operation, move throttle rod rearward, and release slowly. Ensure it returns to full forward position. See Fig 1 .
