[DML] Re: Automatic transmission

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

Service Bulletin ST-16-10/81 has all the procedures for adjusting 
the transmission linkages. Sounds like the cable is just too loose. 
Usually binding would cause the trans to shift at higher speeds and 
downshift early or not allow the throttle to open all the way. As a 
personal preference I do not connect the micro switch. If you are 
heavy on the throttle at passing etc. like I am the micro switch 
allows the engine to stay in the high RPM no-power range too long to 
suit me. The D is quicker at the lower RPM range provided by proper 
actuated throttle response.
