RWD Models

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1989 Plymouth Gran Fury, 1989 Dodge Diplomat, and 1989 Chrysler Fifth Avenue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Make sure carburetor is not on fast idle cam and idle speed is correctly set. Raise vehicle on hoist to make adjustment at transmission throttle lever.
  2. Loosen adjustable swivel lock screw. See Fig 1. Swivel must be free to slide along flat end of throttle rod so that preload spring action is not restricted. Hold transmission lever firmly forward against its internal stop, and tighten swivel lock screw.
  3. This completes throttle rod adjustment, as linkage backlash was automatically removed by the preload spring. To check linkage freedom of operation, move throttle rod rearward and release slowly. Ensure that rod retracts to its full forward position. See Fig 1.
