first, check both throttle & transmission cables are in good condition &
run smoothly for their whole range. then adjust the transmission cable
until slack. then slowly tension so that the slack has just gone and
when the throttle starts to pull, the transmission cable lever starts to
move immediately. that's zero. adjust from there for desired results.
you'l need to borrow the shop manual froma library or something to get
the spec for the prelude, but for the civic, 3mm's your limit. not a lot!
