Abstract:
1. An apparatus for controlling an automatic transmission throttle valve comprising a throttle member eccentric mount and a transmission throttle valve eccentric being attached to a rotatable throttle member of a fuel management device, said throttle member eccentric mount being cylindrical and having two opposing faces, wherein a first face is relief cut in the shape of the periphery of the rotatable throttle member attachment plate being fixedly attached to the primary throttle shaft of said fuel management device such that the throttle member eccentric mount first face accepts the physical periphery of the rotatable throttle member attachment plate preventing translation of movement and causing the second face to be located outboard from the primary throttle shaft end and parallel to the rotatable throttle member of said fuel management device, the second face being the attachment point for the transmission throttle valve eccentric, the transmission throttle valve eccentric having an axis of rotation aligned with axis of rotation of the rotatable throttle member establishing a fixed mechanism which, in combination with a transmission throttle valve cable assembly having one end pivotally connected to said transmission throttle valve eccentric, and the opposite end operably attached to the transmission throttle valve, converts rotary motion of the rotatable throttle member into a reciprocating motion causing an equal amount of transmission throttle valve displacement for each degree of throttle member movement in response to changes in the vehicle operator's accelerator inputs between the idle throttle and the wide open throttle states.
