Eccentric control cable on models with automatic transmission STX (Escort 5)

Adjustment of the eccentric control cable should be made after installing the gearbox or replacing the cable. The cable is attached to the eccentric mounted on the throttle shaft and informs the gearbox of its position.

Remove the air filter.

Press the locking bar of the automatic installation device until the cable is completely released, accompanied by a click and an increase in the protrusion of the sheath. The automatic installation device is located on top of the cable guide bushing (see Fig. 4A.8).



Turn the eccentric, turn the throttle valve to the stop, that is, to the maximum throttle mode and release it back. At the same time, the automatic transmission cable adjustment device is activated and the protrusion of the cable sheath is set.

Remove the cable bracket and adjusting sleeve from the carburetor hanger and move it to the right (see Fig. 4A.9).



Press the accelerator pedal and install the bracket together with the adjusting sleeve. Release the pedal. Press the accelerator pedal several times and check that the throttle valve opens completely. If necessary, re-adjust.

Install the air filter and connect the negative battery terminal.
