Kickdown cable adjusted all the way. No excessive noise or vibration from transmission. Runs well.
Transmission only shifts at 5000rpm. Any ideas.

soundslike to much pressure and cable adjusted wrong.









Remove air cleaner. Check throttle cable bracket and linkage for looseness or bending. Depress accelerator to wide open throttle position. Adjust cable housing so distance between rubber boot end and inner cable stopper or paint mark is. 04 "(1.0 mm). Tighten lock nut. See Fig. 4.

New throttle cables will not have a stopper or paint mark in place. With the new cable securely installed in transmission, pull inner cable slightly until resistance is felt. See Fig. 5. Stake new stopper or paint a mark as shown.
