On my 86 Mack, the throttle shaft moves in and out about 1/16 of an inch [governor lever]. Is there supposed to be spacer in there? Think this is part of engine flutter but also the hole is worn were the throttle lever attaches to the pump lever. Ordered a new one. Thanks

It is a 1988 4th and 5th splits were always abit slow but now first and high to second and low is slow if i dont have the rpm over 1500 it will grind away.
