forgot to mention something havent seen on here before
adjusted auto trans kickdown/throttle cable
is in the FSM, saw a write up on the internet & youtube, apparently stretches over time
this cable affects gear change, and straight away, noticed the upchange speeds have increased about 10% and feel firmer
not sure the torque convertor may not be locking/unlocking under light throttle, moderate load conditions, and this seems improved, maybe even fixed
anyway, its very easy to do, see FSM
* I advise make a mark of where inner cable sheath is before commence!..I didnt, but there was a witness mark from age
follow FSM, press button, align inner & outer sheath end
in my case, it would not ratchet from engine throttle, when I depressed accelerator pedal in cabin, I heard it ratchet, means it is reset
(the inner sheath moved further OUT from the outer sheath, from ~10mm, to ~15mm)
