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.

Scion tC L4-2.4L - Oil Change - Indianapolis, Indiana
Matthew is on it and on time! I had a late Friday night and didn't wake up until 5 minutes before my appointment. He had the equipment and supplies out and ready to go. He was quick, efficient and friendly.

Scion tC L4-2.5L - Brake Pads Replacement (Front) - Opa Locka, Florida
I would first like to start by saying the reviews for Herman Ramos are not only accurate, but they do not match the quality, customer service and professionalism he possesses as a Your Mechanic repair agent. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Not only was he a half hour earlier than expected (early is on time and on time is late), but even in threatening weather he did not let that stop him. He politely stated "I have a raincoat so I will be okay". His service was quick and efficient. He started the job right away. As I had the service done while attending church, even the members asked what service was that. I proudly said Your Mechanic and that's Herman Ramos with a smile. The Your Mechanic service has definitely gained additional customers. All throughout the repair he really made me feel like he was my mechanic. Once the job was done he took it for a test ride in the parking lot to make sure the repair work met his standards. He even made sure to do a full check and give me things to look out for and be aware of. Never once attempting to charge extra or pressure me to do something more than what was paid for. He was thorough in his explanation, patient with my questions and knowledgeable. I would only recommend Herman Ramos for any job and will forever make sure he is the trusted and go to mechanic I use. After several visits to other repair shops and going in with the "what if thought", I now have the confidence of knowing that with Herman, he truly delivers.
