Install the connector on the kick-down switch.

Fit the circlip on the cable adjuster.

Make sure the cable is properly routed in the engine compartment.

Hook the cable on the throttle control bobbin.

Place a 3.5 mm spacer between the throttle control bobbin's idling stop and the bracket stop.

Ensure the circlip rests against the bracket. Adjust the cable until it is tensioned slightly.
