If you Actually READ the instructions, I'm pretty Sure it says " DON'T re adjust by pressing the Gas pedal to the floor !" you set the adjustment all the way too tight, then just Pull the Throttle Open all the way BY HAND, with the Throttle LEVER. that's it, it's done.

I tried it both ways, and the cable is in as far as it goes.
Ok, so I realized I didn't adjust the TV Cable properly. After 3 hours, I finally got it into the RESET position. Here's what it looks like. Now I can move the throttle thing by hand, as far as it will go, correct?

Nothing I've done has fixed the passing gear. When I try to use it my car will fell like its in neutral and will just keep revving. So is that more of a major problem?

More than you can fix poking at it with a screw driver from the outside... yes. Find a reputable transmission shop or a used working replacement yet?

I've been selling off my Hot Wheels collection to get my car painted so once I get some more money I'll take it somewhere in case they charge for an inspection.
If you have access to a garage, and know how to operate hand tools, you could replace the transmission yourself... It isn't that hard really. Its a lot of fun, and its a learning experience. Your car will be down longer, it only took me 1 weekend to pull my cradle and replace my transmission, but for a new beginner, you could probably do it in like 2 weeks. Check my build thread and look at how easy it is.
If they DO charge for a "Diagnosis", you are in the "WRONG Place". Call before you go.
Shrug... it depends on how much time the shop has wasted on flakey customers in the past. In my mind, if you ask for a diagnosis and it takes the shop's time, there should be a charge, but if you decide to have the shop fix it, it should be waived. If they are going to charge you $100 irregardless if they fix it... definitely go somewhere else.
To ME, Giving an "Estimate" for the" cost of repair"s is "a cost of doing business". For a customer to walk in and say, "what will it cost to fix my car for this specific repair", Should be Free. for someone To go in and ask " Can you figure out what's wrong with my car ". they haven't got a clue what it could be, and it's not "Obvious" to the shop owner ( Electrical for example) should be charged for.
It sounds like the clutches are burned up... I would get a transaxle filter kit and tanny fluids.... 10mm socket and take the pan off it is easy. Once the pan is off look in the pan and see how much particles are in there... it will be like wet sand/dust if theres a lot its done and look at filter cause the particles will clog it and that reduces fluid flow which in turn reduces pressure. I hope it is ok cause it will cost a pretty penny to get it repaired if youre not capable/knowledgable enough to do it yourself.... shops are expensive period no matter who you goto. Wish you were closer I would help ya getter going again.... I have always ran fast in all my fieros especially my 88GT... at 112mph the light doors pop up 8) keep us posted and goodluck!

Here is what you can do. Check to see that the TV cable is not broken. You should have two cables on the throttle body arm. The TV cable is on the bottom. Pull on it and see if there is resistance. If it is broken it is easily replaced and adjusted. You could also do a trans fluid and filter change but there is a small chance that it might help. If the trans is shot, look on eBay for a rebuilt GM TH-125H transmission. The labor to change the box should only be a few hundred bucks. If you go with a junkyard unit a transmission that old may not be much better than what you now have. Remember you are driving a 26 year old vehicle that was not designed to last forever. When you drive a vehicle that old, problems and frequent repairs will occur and should be expected. Many times on this forum we see comments like my !{+_)(*&^$# Fiero sucks. I ask these people what do you expect from a car that old? Most cars that old were sent to the junkyard long ago.
