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.
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
❤️(Hi sir pls help me to know the solution) i have nissan tiida 2006 & once my car engine gets cool like every after 4 or 5hrs later if i start my car then i shift the gear into D it takes 10 to 20 seconds to run the vehicle please let me know solution thanks lot
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
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 ?
@@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.
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?
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.
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?
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.

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
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.
@@simple8818 thanks for ur kind reply. Do u think is there is solenoid issue? Transmissionoil color is red . Whixh is pretty new with thickness when u check it with ur fingers. Whats elea i can check or do? What is normal Rpm for shifting from 1sr gear to 2nd gear.
@@kiwanmansoor2863 I could't tell you much about your transmission and what the RPM should be. Have you looked up videos? You can search the web for your car's transmission documentation or purchase a used Toyota shop manual. Good luck.
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.
@@wealthyman3760 My other car was kicking in reversing the car when cold. Car would literally shake and It gradualy became worse. Transmission wasn't the CVT kind. I changed the ATF and the roughnesss went away. Oil was very dark almost black. Please consult your mechanic. Thanks.
@@simple8818 mine in reverse when cold is perfect but in drive there is a minute or more delay except I race to 1500 rpm then it engages.but when warm drive is fine but reverse then enters delay state.oil is fine.when in gear drive is good no issues.mine is Nissan maxima 2007 CVT.am so frustrated
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?
Wow what a difference! Resolved kick down issues and vastly improved shifting.
An easily overlooked solution, well done!

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

Depends on wether the Sportage uses cable or not. Newer cars use electrical wire rather than cable.
Excellent instruction.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank man 🙏 you are boss you save my time and money tho one more to time

Really appreciated.

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

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?
Hi Karin, if the car is still shifting abnormally then the issue may be somewhere else.
I wonder if this will work on my ranger. It’s doing the exact same thing.
You would need to find out if your truck uses Throttle Cable. Newer model automobiles use Throttle by Wire instead.
@@simple8818 yes has cable. Thank you. I’ll try it out.
Does this work with Nissan Rogue?
I'm not certain what method the Rogure uses.
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 ?
My other cable is for Cruise Control. It wouldn't cause a slack.

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.
Use FULLY SYNTHETIC oil. Mobil. Then come back here and tell if that helped.
