Default Manual equivalent of kickdown cable
Hi guys, I just picked up a new (to me) jeep - 1992 2dr 5-speed, everything runs great, but when I was looking under the hood, i noticed a slack cable on the throttle body. On an automatic cherokee this cable would be the tranny kickdown cable, but I can't figure out what it is on mine. The cable heads to a small cylinder right behind the battery. Everything seems to drive fine, but I'd like to figure out what this is. Anyone have an idea or can speak from experience?

Thanks
