Re: kickdown adjustment

from what they have told me the best way to get an initial setting is basically put the piece all the way it and open the throttle all the way open, after that it just depends on how you want your shift points, you can actually find a few videos on youtube for this.

Re: kickdown adjustment

The 700R4 has a TV cable. AFAIK, it doesn't have a kickdown, but I could be wrong. I don't actually own one. :-)

Here are some directions from Jeff's site for adjusting the TV cable. Supposedly doing it wrong will burn up the transmission very quickly. Make sure you get it right!
