With the 6-cyl cars, try not to bash the throttle cross shaft in the top
of the transmission tunnel. If bent, it will affect gas pedal feel and,
while the engine's out I recommend installing the teflon bushes on the
shaft. If they've never been replaced they are almost certainly toast.

With the 6-cyl cars, try not to bash the throttle cross shaft in the
top of the transmission tunnel. If bent, it will affect gas pedal
feel and, while the engine's out I recommend installing the teflon
bushes on the shaft. If they've never been replaced they are almost
certainly toast.<br>
