Uhh, that was me with the stiffy....(couldn't resist).....:-)
I checked out the tranny end of the cable and did not see any way to
adjust it. Not saying it can't be adjusted somehow, just that *I* don't
see how. Maybe an adjustment to the linkage where the cable connects on
the transmission instead of the cable itself....?
I disconnected this cable and drove it down the road. The tranny would
still downshift (under heavy throttle) but the truck just felt "wierd".
Acceleration seemed a little slugish with a jerk at (I forgot what
speed). I just decided to put things back before I messed something
up..... But my pedal felt great with it disconnected....
