Follow up Re: <VV> PG no reverse and more

[John Kepler]

  Hopefully you have a shop manual. If you do then follow the procedure to
check the throttle valve adjustment first. This is the valve the throttle
linkage is hooked to 

It's called the "manual valve", and misadjustment of it can cause just all
kinds of amorphous PG problems.  Unfortunately, it's common for the
adjustment to be "limited-out" in the transmission, indicating that an aging
PG shift-cable has stretched and is in need of replacement.  Its one of
those all-too common PG problems that for some reason seems to get very
short-shrift on this list.....I guess it's just not "glamorous" enough!
