adjust kick down

[rocknrod]

Hi I have an 89 mustang gt 5.0, The kick down only comes in when I mash the gas threw the floor, is there a way for me to adjust that or should I take it to a trans shop?

Thanks for any help

by time i am at 25 mph i am in drive then when i am running 45 to 50 and go to pass someone I have to push way to hard to get it to kick down, the bushing looks good

What I meant is at what speed does the car shift from 1rst to 2nd and from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd to 4th. That cable controls line pressure in the trans. It also affects shift timing. Actually the proper way to adjust that cable is to put a pressure guage on the trans and then adjust it

1st to 2nd 8 to 10 mph and 2nd to 3rd 15 mph 3rd to 4th 25 mph, now if im getting on it 1st to 2nd 30 mph 2nd to 3rd 45 and 3rd to 4th just about instally after 2nd to third
