## Discrepancy

DURING CLIMBOUT, THE NR 1 ENGINE THRUST LEVER CABLE BROKE AS THE CREW WAS DECREASING POWER.  THIS CAUSED ENGINE TO INCREASE TO FULL POWER.  CREW THEN PERFORMED A PRECAUTIONARY ENGINE SHUTDOWN.  AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO ORD AND LANDED WITHOUT INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE NR 1 ENGINE THRUST LEVER CABLE, RIGGED AND OPERATIONAL CHECK OK.
