    You just have to loosen the nuts that hold the throttle and trans cable to be able to adjust them. You should adjust it so that there is a very small amount of play before the throttle cable starts pull the throttle plate open, and also a very small amount of play before the trans cable gets pulled. You get better throttle response with almost no play on the throttle cable, just make sure it isn't pulling the throttle plate open.

      No there is a certain sequence and measure ment you have take., The Throttle cable/automatic shifter and tranny kick down are all connected but the process is very precised and important. The car has to be free of vacuum leaks for this to work, then after the adjustment you can move th idling screw. I messed up and cant find the correct sequence to fix this. Some one please help.

        i didnt follow any precise sequence.
        i adjusted the throttle first so it responds the way i like it.
        then i did a lot of trial and error on the trans cable till it shifted the way i like.

        theres more to it than just the drivers preference of course, but i dont think an absolute certain sequence or procedure needs to be taken.

        i could be wrong.
        but my shit runs/shifts perfect.

            Adjust the throttle first, to give you the throttle response you want, then you'll want to experiment with the downshift cable until it shifts down when you want it to. That's going to mean tweaking it, driving it, tweaking it, driving it until you have it right.
