[C320-list] Shift linkage failure

[Jeffrey Brown]

While we are at it, any idea how to adjust the throttle? Ours slowly slows down from about 2700 rpm cruising speed to 2000 rpm over about 15 mins. I use a Velcro strap while we are on a long journey. Have a 7 hour trip to Catalina this week.

The shift lever on the transmission seems to work just fine. Somehow it is disconnected from the control lever on the binnacle.
