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.

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.
