i took a closer look at the cable as it enters the transmission at the rear of the engine..it seems to have a round knob as the cable enters the trans??anyone have info on how this knob gets adjusted??

I wrote instruction yesterday but it did not went through:

The TV cable setting:

• With the engine off, verify that the accelerator cable opens the throttle all the way
• Block the throttle wide open (this will fully extend the TV cable core)
• Look on the TV cable: the 1 mm length of staked collar on the cable core must be exposed from the boot end. If not:

Inspect the cable casing for damage (I have seen the casing stretched near its end by ¼ inch!).
The plastic cable casing is secured to the transaxle housing by one M6 screw (10 mm socket required). If the plastic boss with the screw hole breaks, the cable casing can work itself out from the transaxle, resulting in the profuse fluid loss!
If no damage found, adjust the cable:

• Loosen two casing to bracket nuts (14 mm wrench needed);
• With throttle fully open adjust the casing, so the collar on the core is within1 mm from the boot end.
• Retighten the nuts
• Release the throttle

The fine adjustment is determined by transmission condition (line pressure).
On governor controlled L suffix transaxle, the cable length affects the shift timing (early-late) and the shift feel (soft-hard) while on ECT suffix E transaxle it only controls the shift feel (soft –hard)
