What is the throttle valve cable all about?

The throttle valve cable is a key component of a transmission system. The throttle valve cable is responsible for maintaining proper shift feel, controlling line pressure, and both partial and full throttle downshifts. The throttle valve cable is connected to the throttle lever, and is responsible for controlling it. Regardless of how much torque your engine is generating, the throttle valve cable will be able to keep the shift feel and transmission line pressure in balance.

Keep in mind:

  • When the throttle valve cable is adjusted, the entire transmission system should be inspected.
  • Replacing the carburetor can sometimes make it impossible for the throttle valve cable to be properly adjusted.

Our recommendation:

Your transmission is one of the most important parts of your vehicle to service. During maintenance and tuneups every part of the suspension should be checked, including the throttle valve cable. Always follow your car’s suggested maintenance schedule for the transmission.

What are the common symptoms indicating you need to adjust the throttle valve cable?

  • Transmission (gear) does not shift properly

How important is this service?

The transmission is what is used to switch gears so that your vehicle runs smoothly and optimally. A key part of this system is the throttle lever, which keeps the shift feel and transmission line pressure in balance at all times. The throttle lever is controlled by the throttle valve cable. One of the key roles that the throttle lever and throttle valve cable play is that they’re responsible for downshifting your vehicle when it is going uphill. The throttle valve cable helps the engine find the right gear to maximize torque. When the throttle valve cable is not properly adjusted, a key component of the transmission is lost. Since the transmission is such a finely tuned machine, an unadjusted throttle valve cable can result in severe damage to the transmission.

BMW X5 L6-3.0L Turbo Diesel - Car is not starting - Lake Worth, Florida
Great service, great technician. Subject: 2011 BMW X5 35d (TT Diesel) Tech Arrived 3 hours early… which made things much better as I was stuck in the car broken down in the hot Florida sun, so I appreciate the effort to come out faster, rather than just “milking out” the previous jobs time-slot etc., like some would do……. Also, Very glad I chose to give an “online mobile repair service” a chance, as the solution only took 10 minutes and the tech showed up super early. Honestly, I was just about to have to spend what would have ended up being probably $1,000 between towing & whatever my “local European repair shop” would have charged me for fixing the main problem….(and usually to also fix some “other” issues they “happen to find” at the same time….) - So, for less than $100 out of pocket today I am super impressed by the whole operation. Will def save this new repair source at the top of my list for any future unfortunate events…..great job.
