Examination
Remove the air filter housing and air intake pipe.
Figure 9.11. Measuring the distance between the end of the cable sheath and the stop on the throttle control cable: X = 0–1 mm
The assistant should press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it down while measuring the distance X (figure 9.11) between the edge of the cable sheath and the stopper on the cable. If the distance is 0-1 mm, then the cable is adjusted correctly, otherwise, adjust the cable.
Adjustment
The assistant should press the accelerator pedal all the way down and hold it there, while loosening the lock nut and, by turning the adjusting nut, adjust the position of the cable sheath so that the distance between the end of the cable sheath and the stopper on the cable is within 0–1 mm.
Tighten the lock nut, re-measure the distance between the edge of the cable housing and the stop on the cable, and check that the throttle valve opens fully when the accelerator pedal is fully depressed.
Replacement
Loosen the lock nut and remove the cable housing from the throttle body bracket.
Disconnect the cable from the throttle sector.
Disconnect the cable housing from the bracket on the gearbox.
Following the cable down, locate where it enters the gearbox housing. Remove the bolt that holds the cable at the required level.
Drain the transmission fluid from the gearbox, remove the pan and filter.
On 1996-1998 single-axle models, remove the two bolts and bracket that supports the transmission fluid pipes. Disconnect the pipes from the gearbox.

On all-wheel drive models, remove the two bolts and the retainer spring (figure 9.12). On single axle models, only one bolt is installed. On all-wheel drive models, remove the five bolts and mechanical valve (figure 9.13).
On 1996 through 1998 models, disconnect all electrical connectors from the solenoids.

Figure 9.18. Disconnecting the throttle control cable from the cam on the valve body
Remove the valve body mounting bolts (figures 9.15, 9.16, 9.17). Separate the valve body from the transmission and disconnect the throttle control cable from the cam on the valve body (figure 9.18).
Installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal, taking into account the following.
After assembling the gearbox, fill it with transmission fluid.
If a new cable is to be installed, attach the stopper to it as follows.
Figure 9.19. Installing the stopper on the new throttle control cable
Bend the end of the cable at the throttle assembly to a 200 mm radius. Pull the cable out of the sheath until you feel slight resistance, then attach the stopper to the cable 0.8–1.5 mm from the end of the cable sheath (figure 9.19).
Connect the cable to the throttle sector and secure the cable housing to the bracket, then make the adjustment.
