Jeff's 727 rebuild thread

Yes Jeff. The tab on the throttle lever should be on the other side of the adjusting screw head. That is likely the cause of your shift problem. Also what is more serious, is that with the lever tab on that side of the screw, you will not have an increase in throttle pressure as you depress the gas pedal. Certain death for a 727 in a very short time. Looks like you got it?
