Yes and no. It does start out by talking about band adjustment.
Scroll down. Quote:
"Your throttle valve linkage in the early model Hydramatics is a very important setting for proper operation. There were many different linkages used throughout the years. There should be a code stamped on the linkage so you can adjust it. Each style is adjusted slightly differently. The measurements are taken with the throttle rod removed and the lever held against the rear stop. You adjust it to the proper dimensions by bending the rod."
My words here:
The throttle lever is against the internal "stop" and the dimensions (A, B, C, D and E) are then measured. Bend the arm to meet the dimensions.
Chevrolet truck manual. Quote:
Under the truck, disconnect the control rod from the transmission throttle valve lever. Hold the lever against the rear stop and check the distance from hole in the lever to rear of transmission case, using gauge J-2545-C. If necessary, bend the transmission throttle valve lever.....and so on.
The owner doesn't have the gauge and I was hoping to find something, make a tool or measure distance, to get the initial throttle lever check. Lord help us if the lever needs bending. Fingers crossed.
