System for controlling an automatic transmission throttle valve

A system for controlling a transmission throttle valve in a vehicle having a fuel management device having a rotatable linkage member, comprising:

• an adapter plate mountable beneath the fuel management device;
• a bracket connectable to said adapter plate;
• a throttle valve cable connectable to said bracket.
• an adjustment mechanism having a slot, said adjustment mechanism connectable to the rotatable linkage member;
• said throttle valve cable having a tubular housing fixedly connectable to said bracket and a cable slidably disposed within said tubular housing, said cable having a first end and an opposite second end connectable to the transmission throttle valve;
• said first end selectively connectable along said slot so that at any connection position a cable pull distance is substantially constant;
• said slot being one of straight and curved;
• and,
• wherein a line through the ends of said slot forms an angle of 36° to 76° with a perpendicular to said adapter plate.
