I've just finished installing an overhauled CTX transmission in my Ford Fiesta Mk3 1.3i

Now, I would like to know the correct procedure to set the throttle cable that goes from the monopoint injection to the automatic gearbox.

The cable has a square box on it with an orange lip. When the lip is depressed the cables shifts to it's longest position. I thought this was some sort of 'self setting' mechanisme that would set the cable automatically when the accelerator was depressed completely but nothing happens.

So I think the cable has to be set manually but would like to know how that is done.

Yes, that's the cable.

I have the Haynes manual but only mention the cable to be adjusted by a Ford dealer :s

I've have read the procedure once on the internet but can't find it anymore frown
