Im dont think you can but not sure really. What year car do you have? You do know that the 1998-2000 tb are different than 2001-2002? But i would also like to know if it is possible to adjust this by that plastic clip.

the tb didnt come with spacers for the little metal part that holds the cables. i got two when i got my spacer and used one of those and have the other there available. i used a screwdriver to move the little bump on the plastic that slides in the hole is the car a4 or m6

no it did not come with spacers i got it on a trade for seven old pistons and rods from my old engine only came with the spacer at the back thats all no screws or gaskets,its an a4 and its a 1998 i think its for the cruise control and it looks like you can adjust it but dont know how to make it move,also how many gaskets come with it?

I've never adjusted the cables, but that TB spacer is like putting on a tornado. Might as well take it off and eliminate the problem.
