This thread was almost, but not completely dead.

I have read that tightening this cable results in firmer shifts, possibly higher line pressure. Has anyone tried this?

Default Hey can u help me Please? Im Trying to fix a slip in my Transmission but i cant see .

wanted to bump this to share my discovery. I had transmission jerk from P to D as well as R. Also between all gears.

I first thought it was trans mount or oil. Changed those but no improvement.

Then I thought it could be the drive shaft bushing etc. But no...

It was this cable that was little too loose. Basically the transmission was thinking car was at lower RPM than it really was, resulting in the jerk. Took 5 minutes. I can barely feel it shifting now.

Very easy to do, as cation said above, there is a stopper on the cable and it should almost touch the cable outer. (<1mm)

This is a must do DIY i think...[/QUOTE]

You can't find it because it doesn't have one.
