I was told I needed to adjust the cable on my throttle... It was like AV or somthin.. It looks like you just push with your thumb and it can move. How does this work?

Ehhh I think it was av... I just did an engine swap and he said it may need to be adjusted. He said it helps the transmission shift.
Also, the engine I put in was from an 06 wrangler.... It's been a pain having to get new mounts and crap, but it's in and running. The Lilly fan from the wrangler didnt rub my radiator when it was idling, but once I took it for a spin goin up to 50mph it put a nice lookin circle in my radiator and felt the need to spray my engine bay with coolant. So I put in a new radiator and the electric fan from the 01 engine..... The edge of the fan is cracked and sounds hits the edge of the fan mount sounding like a chainsaw. I want to know what the best rout would be for getting a fan in their. Should I replace the aux fan that come on at like 210degress? Or would it be better to get one of them electric row of fans that you can adjust when they come on an stuff... The way the engine is set up pretty much rules out a clutch fan.

Control, has the plunger and adjustment button. Adjusting that can help smooth out shifting.
