Default Automatic shifter issue

Greetings,
when I try and pull the shifter in to 1st gear it won’t downshift without slapping the stick rearward. I assume the shift cable or the shifter itself needs adjustment. Where is the usual adjustment made to make it work properly? The indicator shows 1st but I have to force it to make it shift. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Shift boot not allowing full travel? Has been an issue on these cars.

Doesn’t seem to but I’ll double check. Thanks.
