Front Wheel Drive Models

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1985 Dodge Ramcharger, 1985 Dodge Ram Wagon, 1985 Dodge Ram Van, 1985 Dodge Pickup, and 1985 Dodge Cab & Chassis. 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 (disconnect choke if necessary). Loosen adjustment bracket lock screw.
    NOTE: Bracket must be free to slide on its slot.
  2. Hold transmission lever firmly rearward against its internal stop and tighten lock screw. This completes adjustment as cable backlash was automatically removed.
  3. To check linkage freedom of operation, move transmission lever forward and slowly release, making sure it returns to full rear position.
