Proper Regulator V alve Adjustments
All Chrysler/Dodge units that have a T.V. controlled line rise will have the
same adjustments for both the T.V. valve circuit as well as the Pressure Regulator
valve pre-adjustment.
Pressure Regulator Valve: From the face of the valve body to the bottom of the
adjustor plate for the regulator spring the measurement is 1 5/19".
Note: The 1 5/16” setting is an approximate setting. Manufacturing tolerances
may make it necessary to vary from this dimension to obtain desired pressure.
By adjusting the screw one complete turn will change the line pressure approxi-
mately 1 2/3 psi. Counterclockwise will raise pressure – clockwise will lower
pressure.

Throttle Valve adjustment s
T.V. Valve Adjustment: A special tool from Miller Tools # C3763 is used to
measure the gap distance between the throttle lever and the kickdown valve. With
the tool in place, there should be no movement of the T.V. valve (valve bottomed
into its bore – no movement).
Note: The kickdown valve spring must be fully compressed and the kickdown
valve completely bottomed to obtain correct adjustment.

Pressure Regulator V alve and T .V.
Valve adjustment s Tool
Parts required:
1: Shouldered bolt (Minimum 1" shoulder 3/8 bolt)
1: Roll Pin (Minimum 3" long 1/8 wide)

Procedure: Cut the head and thread section off of the bolt leaving just the
shoulder section to work with. Out of the round stock that you now have in your
hands, you need to make the overall length .627 long! Carefully do this at the
grinding wheel keeping a cup of water handy so you do not burn your fingers. This
is the same measurement of the Miller tool C3763 used for the Throttle valve
adjustment. Drill through the side of the round slug with a 1/8 drill and install roll
pin with a length of at least 3" into gauge slug. Measure up from the bottom of the
roll pin 1-5/16" and file or cut into the roll pin a notch for measuring the Pressure
Regulator spring height. Now you have a tool that does both jobs so no need hunt-
ing down 2 separate tools!

Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment
When adjusting the Throttle Cable on any Chrysler/Dodge with the 42 series
through 47 series RE and RH transmissions, the procedure is the same. The cable
must be adjusted to the minimum side of the adjustment. The throttle lever on the
transmission and the throttle plate at engine must move simultaneously. Adjust-
ment is made at throttle body. Unsnap the cable from the throttle body. The cable
end and the centering ball on the throttle body must line up together. If not, re-
lease cable snap-lock and adjust to achieve this measurement.

Note: Be sure that as the cable is pulled forward and centered

on the throttle lever stud. Due to the angle at which the cable
housing enters the spring housing, the cable housing may bind
slightly and create an incorrect adjustment
