Re: Ultramatic throttle linkage adjustment

Howard, thanks so much. With your description and the picture, I understood the internal geometry better so I was able to twist and wiggle the shaft back in a bit and it seems like it reseated in the groove. I played with the lever and made sure it was close to what was described in the manual (cold engine/trans). I think it was good before I started..
With the bottom adjusted, I warmed up the engine and at 450 idle adjusted the top linkage as per the manual. the throttle linkage adjustment is far forward, almost touching the turnbuckle. Seems too far forward. I measured from the firewall to the back end of this linkage as per the SC and it was 3-3/8".
Do I need to measure the lower trans throttle shaft when the engine is warm?
Other than that, not sure what else to do. Maybe this is okay for my car. The shaft has a noticeable bend in it, that could cause the position to be further forward than typical.
thanks again for your assistance.
