Abstract: A system for controlling a transmission throttle valve allows the transmission response to be correlated with changes in engine torque. The apparatus described herein solves the problem of older vehicles which utilize a fuel management device having a throttle lever that contains no ready attachment point for a throttle valve control device. The apparatus includes an eccentric mount which is installed on the rotatable throttle member of a the management device. The eccentric mount is positioned so as to have an axis of rotation nominally aligned with the axis of rotation of the throttle shaft. An eccentric having an attachment point for a throttle valve cable is installed on the eccentric mount, establishing a fixed mechanism so as to correlate the rate of the transmissions throttle valve travel via displacement of the cable as the throttle member rotates the eccentric.
