Transmission Delayed shifting, adjust the Throttle Cable.

[@omeedkhatami4649]

An easily overlooked solution, well done!

[@km3506]

Wow what a difference! Resolved kick down issues and vastly improved shifting.

[@leiladaquil6587]

Now I understand automatic tranny comes in kick down cable control and electronic Trans control module.Good to start diagnosing all controls located outside first rather than jump to solenoid,gear set,oil level,etc.thank you for the good video.

[@RogerioDuarte]

Thanks man, I fixed my old toyota Corolla with your video. The gap was 8mm I put 0,9mm it worked perfectly.

[@bilygates2509]

Outstanding 😮.. thank you for saving the day my car improved instantly 👌🙏

[@dangalanga6941]

I had this issue start with my ford AU2 Ute and I’m so glad I saw your vid 🤙 I fully thought something was wrong with the gearbox itself

[@麥克龍]

If the auto-transmission kick-down cable too tight,it will make throttle body plate always closed. Normally the throttle body butterfly plate exist a little open without depressing pedal(engine at idle),when engine warm up in idle,vacuum apply to throttle opener and cause butterfly plate closed. The air flow into intake manifold is adjust by ISC(idle speed control valve) and IACV. Factory service manual use terminology "throttle body cable" as auto-transmission kick-down cable. The cable connected to pedal an "accelerator cable".

I'm having the same issues on a kia sportage I sure hope this solves my problem as well ...thank you for sharing I would not have thought that ..thanks bunches god bless

[@simple8818]

Depends on wether the Sportage uses cable or not. Newer cars use electrical wire rather than cable.

Thank you for that information

[@peterbest3769]

I have ae91 toyota 1 gear shift at about 25 , how do i ajust it to change blow 20 . What the setting for the cables

[@simple8818]

There is no way to adjust the cable to shift at ceratin speed. Check the cable for looseness. If not loose there could be a transmission issue. Thanks.

[@AbidZehra2024]

Problem Jatco bmw e39 1999 delay :/

[@noisy_boi_fpv_3920]

That is the gearbox line pressure control cable not throttle cable. You are pretty much wrong on everything u say. The bobbin on the cable should be inside the cable outer and only protruding 0-1mm. Then push rubber sheath back on. This cable regulates the pressure in the gearbox more pressure harder shifts less pressure softer shifts

[@stephenthomas1272]

Surprised no one has responded to your comment. I have a 97' LS400 and my shifts from P to D to R are all hard when the car is driven cold (1000-1200rpm). I made the adjustment according to this guys instruction because my cable stopper was also out about 6-8mm away from the outer cable. My concern is that I was barely able to get the stopper to where it is now because the outside nut that gets turned counter-clockwise ran out of threads to turn on. I believe the cable on my car is stretched out. Would love to hear your take on this.

[@karimbakri8006]

@@stephenthomas1272 yea same thing for me

[@simple8818]

Make sure throttle valve is fully closed. Check that the inner cable is not slack. Measure the distance between outer cable and stopper on the cable. Standard distance 0-1. If you aren't able to achieve this distance but you aren't having issues then leave it, otherwise consult a mechanic or transmission shop and perhaps replace the cable.

[@3khor]

When do you get more pressure? When you tighten it? And you will get lesser pressure when the cable is not tight?

[@DPoner]

I wonder if this will work on my ranger. It’s doing the exact same thing.

[@simple8818]

You would need to find out if your truck uses Throttle Cable. Newer model automobiles use Throttle by Wire instead.

[@DPoner]

@@simple8818 yes has cable. Thank you. I’ll try it out.

[@ivanchostefanovski2351]

On previous post j forgot to mention j change the fluid and filter twice and the 3 magnet was absolutely clean (0) both times .If some part of gearbox is broken there will be something on the magnet?

[@simple8818]

Not necessarily. There are times when small pirces of metal are found on the magnet due to wear and tear. Some cars are just notirious for transmission issues. Search for your car model to see if others are complaining about the transmission. Also mileage of the car plays a factor. Hope this helps.

[@karimbakri8006]

My cable will not tighten anymore I turned the nut all the way but stopper will not go any closer to the end do I need a new cable?

[@simple8818]

Hi Karin, if the car is still shifting abnormally then the issue may be somewhere else.

[@siah_6008]

I have an issue on my 94 sc 400 when I step in the throttle all the way when I’m going 50mph it used to downshift to 2nd for faster acceleration but now it only downshifts one gear could it be from the throttle cable?

[@simple8818]

I’ll try the same procedure and let you know how my LS behaves. I recently did Valve clearance adjustment and car downshifts better when stepped on. Cleaned the TB front and back.

[@simple8818]

My car(LS400) does the same as yours when stepping on accelerator.

[@static_ls4004]

I have a ucf21, do you have a fix for no kickdown since they aren’t controlled via cable?

[@simple8818]

No but information I found for my model was from the Lexus shop manual.

Sir corlla 92 1st generation 5A with auto cable gear . car shift 1st gear to 2nd gear on 2200 rpm . Is it normal or high. Due to high rpm shifting car consuming high gas . I check and very lose kick down cable but problem same. Any suggestions pl

[@simple8818]

Hi Kiwan, please check the ATF level and color of the fluid. If it is very dark (brown/black), it might need a flush; but ATF flush can cause transmission issue if it's never been done. It all depends on how regularly the transmission fluid was maintained in the past.

I have a question ,my car has two cables just like yours ,it looks like one is to adjust the throttle cable but what's the other cable for ? When I loosen my throttle cable does it create slack for the other cable ?

[@simple8818]

My other cable is for Cruise Control. It wouldn't cause a slack.

@@simple8818 I posted my comment before watching the whole video. When I loosen the throttle cable does it leave slack for the accelerator cable ?

[@simple8818]

@@oceanpacific3841 My reply was it shouldn't. Additionaly, what needs to be tested also is the cruise control operation after your work is completed. IF cruise never worked before that is a different issue. Good luck.

Lookin more closely at your question those two cables are the same. Throttle cable is the accelarator cable! If you need more help post your question at mechanic forums. Thanks.

[@spartanreaper911]

I deleted my cruise control a little while back and realized now above 45mph the throttle acts weird if I don’t put my foot down enuff, like it’s not engaging would deleting the cruise throttle cable have caused some unnecessary slack?

[@simple8818]

By deleting the cruise control do you mean you removed the cruise control cable? If so, I don't think it makes any difference on older cars that use throttle cable. Put the cruise cable back if you can to see if it fixes the problem.

[@RogerioDuarte]

My old corolla 1998 has delay 3 to 4

[@simple8818]

Hi Rogerio, check the trottle cable for slack. Next would be to change the ATF fluid and clean the filter only if has been already changed before otherwise changing the fluid may cause more problem. If the fluid has never been changed don't change it. Hope this helps.

Do new cars also have throttle cables?

No most are using throttle by wire sending electronic signals instead of using cable.

So after adjusting the first nut counter-clockwise to adjust the cable and it's where you need it to be, you don't tighten the nut up that's closest to the black plastic cover to tighten it up?

Tighten both nuts. I believe there is a comment towards the end of the video. Thanks.
