On a 1988 Camaro 2.8 with 700r4, must you pull the transmission in order to replace the throttle valve cable? Or is there an easier way?

 

It's gonna be tight but you should be able change without pulling the trans. There is only 1 bolt that holds it place. If push comes to shove, you could probably drop the trans crossmember which would lower the tailshaft some making sure to let the jack down only a little to gain some extra room. Been there, done it.

 

Thank you for the quick response, have relayed that info to my husband.

Another question.........how about the govenor gear. Can that be replaced without removing?

 

I would imagine that you should be able to, but I can't say for sure. I would check with a manual or maybe someone else on this board can answer that with better info for you. Good luck..

 

Thanks for the help, I will post a separate message.

 

i've replaced mine, and all i had to do was jack up the car to get to it.

 

UPDATE: Thank you for the help, my husband & I got the cable in..........(tight fit for his hands, so mine in from the top, and his blind from the bottom did the job). However apparently the people who had this car had installed a wrong (way to long) TV cable ran it that way long enough to ruin the transmission. After installing and adjusting we still do not have OD. Acts just like it goes into neutral. In another post was told it was probably the lo roller clutch...............Since we have a wrecked 85 camaro with 2.8 and a m5, guess that m5 will go into the 1988. Anyone know of any changes besides the tranny that need to be done?

Thanks again for the help
