What does the throttle valve cable do?
The throttle valve cable’s function is to transfer the movements of the throttle at the carburetor to the throttle valve plunger in the valve body. This allows throttle valve pressure and line pressure to increase according to throttle opening for gear upshifting. It also controls when the transmission downshifts.

Can a bad throttle body cause transmission problems?
The Throttle Position sensor measures the throttle position, which is controlled by the gas pedal. It is used to determine engine load and if it fails it can cause automatic transmission shifting problems. When a throttle body is not functioning correctly, some noticeable characteristics may be poor or very low idle.
What kind of cable does a throttle valve use?
