Re: Transmissions - Wranglers
Tom,
There is a coil spring on the throttle body wrapped around the butterfly
valve shaft, between the throttle cable lever and the throttle body. There
should be a second retainer spring clipped to the throttle body lever, with
the other end hooked onto the bracket that secures the end of the throttle
cable housing. It was this second spring that was missing.
Send me a good email address and I'll shoot you a pic.

Tom,
There is a coil spring on the throttle body wrapped around the butterfly
valve shaft, between the throttle cable lever and the throttle body. There
should be a second retainer spring clipped to the throttle body lever, with
the other end hooked onto the bracket that secures the end of the throttle
cable housing. It was this second spring that was missing.
