Abstract
In a motor vehicle automatic transmission, for example, a GENERAL MOTORS THM 700-R4 automatic transmission, the throttle valve cable ('T.V. cable') forms a mechanical link between a throttle pedal, a throttle valve linkage on a fuel delivery system (e.g., a carburetor or electronic fuel injector) and a throttle valve. A sleeve and spring are installed at the distal end of the T.V. cable, between the cable end clamp and the tear-drop shaped cable end fitting on the T.V. cable. The spring opposes the movement of the cable end fitting toward the distal end of the T.V. cable so that the cable end fitting is at its maximum distal position only at fully open throttle. This gives the vehicle operator the shift feel of a shorter T.V. cable at most throttle openings. The sleeve and spring may be used in this manner only with automatic transmissions with T.V. cables that do not have end fittings permanently attached to a throttle cam.
