Automatic shift points
I followed an article I found on this forum and adjusted my transmission cable (1988 auto) as described. Now the shift from 1st to 2nd on light accelration is at about 1500 to 1700 rpm and similarly from 2nd to 3rd. It is a nice firm shift but a little high on the rpms I think?
Does this sound about what everyone else sees?

I'm interested in which colum you where you found this at. What is the title? I also want to check mine and possibly adjust it!
Thanks, Matt

This article was found at http://www.tvmadeez.com/article/index.php.
I thought it was a well written and very explanatory article.

To play with the specified cable adjustment can easily cost you a transmission. Shift points can be manipulated by recalibrating the governor by experimenting with different weights and springs.
