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 M3 L6-3.2L - Car is not starting - Saratoga, California
Khoa was professional, punctual, and very polite. He also noticed some worn belts that needed to be replaced. Unfortunately he misdiagnosed my issue. The battery was fine (but extremely low). The ground cable was shooting against the frame of the car. He noticed some sparks, but said the ground cable was fine. After buying a new battery at his recommendation, the issue did not go away. I pulled up a piece of rubber lining and saw that the ground wire was compromised in two places. Ended up costing me a couple of additional hours of work due to the misdiagnosis

Because I haven’t lived in Tucson for too long so haven’t had a “go to” mechanic but I will definitely be going back to Jose for any car problems I may have. He was very knowledgeable on my bmw 535i and replaced my starter in a timely manner. I would highly recommend!
