Hey Jack,
I also adjusted my TB cable (twice). The first time I couldn't get it out more
than about 1/8" ( I was at the end and couldn't get anymore). Result: seemed
the same or maybe holding the shifts a little longer. When I went for my trans
service I asked the dealer to look at it. He confirmed that I couldn't go
anymore because there weren't anymore locking grooves left, I was at the end.
So......when I went home I took a measurement, then wacked the bracket back
gently with a 2' pc of wooden dowl.
I knocked it back another 1/4". It now definitely holds the shifts longer but I
also feel that tightness in the pedal at the WOT position. I think its a little
too far and the TV cable is acting as the throttle stop. I may bring it back a
1/16 or so closer to were it originally was.
Regards
Bob
