A new throttle pressure cable with a "Quick Adjust" feature is being used in some late 1985 production vehicles.

The adjustment procedure for the "Quick Adjust" cable is as follows:

Adjustment Procedure

1. Perform transaxle throttle pressure cable adjustment while engine is at normal operating temperature, and make sure carburetor is not on fast idle cam.

2. Loosen cable mounting bracket lock screw.

3. Bracket should be positioned rearward (toward transaxle cast surface) as far as it will go, with the bracket alignment tabs touching the transaxle cast surface. Tighten lock screw to 12 N-m (105 inch pounds).

4. Release cross-lock on the cable assembly (pull cross-lock upward).

5. To insure proper adjustment, the cable must be free to slide all the way toward the engine, against its stop, after the cross-lock is released.

6. Move transaxle throttle control lever fully clockwise, against its internal stop, and press cross-lock downward into locked position.

7. The adjustment is complete and transaxle throttle cable backlash was automatically removed.
8. Test cable freedom of operation by moving the transaxle throttle lever forward (counterclockwise) and slowly release it to confirm it will return fully rearward (clockwise).

9. No lubrication is required for any component of the throttle cable system.

The "Quick Adjust" throttle pressure cable is also used in 1986 production.
