my car is shifting out of 1st gear at around 1200 rpms an the same thing out of 2nd. once i get up 55 mph it wont shift into 4th, its running about 2500 rpms at 55 mph with stock gears. and when i put it in OD its like its in neutral. could this cable be the problem??
You probably need a trans rebuild.thats what i figured lol .. i was jus hoping not. how much trouble is a t5 swap??
It's the "kickdown" cable, it's purpose is to tell the trans to downshift when you put the hammer down. The other cable is the throttle cable.
Replace it, zip ties are for honda ground effects not mustang parts.
is it the TV cable or the Throttle cable? I'm not at home to look right now I'm out of state on vacation. It broke before I left...well at least I think it broke before I left....but maybe this may be the reason for my transmission not wanting to downshift from 4th when slowing or coming to a stop. It does it in 3rd too, but not nearly as bad. It boggs down quite a bit from 4th to a stop. From 3rd to a stop it holds until it drops to around ~500 RPM dragging the voltage down with it, then goes up to around 1000-1200 rpm when it downshifts. It's affecting my braking too.
