Default TV Cable adjustment

Does anyone know the most accurate method in adjusting the throttle Valve cable on an '85 C4 mated to (Australian specs) Turbo-Hydro 700?

The 'HAYNES' method seems to be questionable in my case, as the gearchange does not really 'snap' like I'm told it should.

Please email me any thoughts
Thanks!

On my 85 I just push the button and pull the cable taught with a pair of needle nose pliers then get behind the wheel and push the accelerator all the way to the floor...instant correct adjustment. :seeya

I think you may have it as my throttle travel isn't full due to pedal needing an extra mm or two...hence; the spindle WOULDN'T reflect a true adjustment!

Thanks heaps!!
