Shorten the kickdown cable to make the transmission kick down into a lower gear sooner. Lengthen the cable to make the transmission shift down later or at a lower power setting.
To adjust the kick down cable there is a clip that u remove and adjust the sheth lenght. if you cant get enough adjustment from that they sell replacement cables that are adjustable. The technical name is Detent cable
Yes, but you will need to adjust it.
The throttle cable can't be adjusted but the kickdown can be adjusted. Shorten the cable length to get it to kick down a gear sooner. It will kick down under less power.Lengthen the cable length to get it to kick down later. It will kick down with more power.
Loosen the clamp bolts on the cable. If it is shifting down to a lower gear when the throttle is at max it is all right. If it is shifting down too early, lengthen the cable adjustment. If it is shifting down too late or not at all shorten the cable adjustment.
well its Between the Gear and the Throttle there you can find the Kick-Down Cable
kick down cable
you might be able to adjust it down at the trany, but it would be better to just replace the hole cable
There is no kick down cable on a 2002 Silverado. You TCM (transmission control module) controlls downshifts. Also, the cruise control, has a module that does it's thinking and is non-ajustable.
The transmission shifting is late because the kick-down cable needs to be adjusted. The kick-down cable is usually found on the throttle lever with the throttle cable.
If you mean a Kick down cable you will ruin your transmission as the Kick down cable was only used by most manufacturers in the 1950s and 60s. Later cars had a system where the cable everyone called the Kick down was actually a throttle position cable and controlled the transmission internals to prevent slipping and controls how harsh the shifts are.
The three cables are from the gas pedal, cruise control, and transmission kick down. The transmission kick down is the only adjustable cable.
