  A: Service and modify the Throttle Cable/linkage for the 3 speed-mb3 automatic transmission by first unfastening the Throttle Cable locknut and adjust nut then removing the Throttle Cable from the throttle valve linkage and its respective bracket before separating it from the guide bracket for the cable. Begin by elevating the automobile with support in place. Subsequently remove both left splash shield bolts and related fasteners.

The transaxle Drain Plug removal followed by 15 transaxle fluid pan bolts extraction allows you to remove both the fluid pan and fluid pan gasket. Remove the Throttle Cable from the throttle valve cam while you remove its retaining bolt at the valve body assembly. Test the Throttle Cable o-ring for damage and if needed get a new one. Secure the Throttle Cable along with its retaining bolt into the transaxle case while torquing the bolt to 8 nm (71 inch lbs.).

Of torque). Secure the Drain Plug of the transaxle to 49 nm (36 ft. Lbs.) while removing the drain pan. Attach the left splash shield followed by its six bolts with a torque of 5nm (44 inch lbs.) after that install the pnp switch with tightened pnp nuts to 8nm (71 inch lbs.). Lower the vehicle while connecting the Throttle Cable to both accelerator cables and secure them into the retaining bracket followed by installation of the Throttle Cable adjustment cover. When necessary complete a fluid replacement of the transaxle system.
