Noob question 727 really low shift points

Throttle

I shouldn't have mentioned the manual valve body, your first post makes it clear it is not, because it was shifting on its own back then, correct?

It does look like you trimmed the kickdown pretty tight, and left the adjustment on the wrong side, so to speak
You may need to trim the outer sheath to make it work

On the bright side, the throttle cable should be a breeze

The throttle cable should be a breeze? I’m dreading that job actually, I’m 6’4 and they put RAM pickup seats in this thing because they (whoever put this together) wanted electric seats, ugh. Seats are on my todo list because of how crappy it is in the cabin. I’m going to be upside down with my legs in who knows what position just to get to the top of that pedal, lol. Hopefully though it goes smooth and I spend as little time as possible inside the car.

As for the valve body, yes I didn’t understand what the difference is but now I get it, a manual would only shift if I manually selected the gears. It’s problem was readily apparent that it was shifting into third by 20 mph with no way to wind it up and get it to hold off. And the fact that it did shift every time was what made me hopeful this thing isn’t trashed.

I’ll hopefully have more time this weekend between my daughters heads installation if the machine shop is done with it, and her friends sway bar install on her Pontiac G6. The sway bar job is only a half hour but if the heads are back I may end up into the following weekend for my car. Ugh.

Thanks for the knowledge though.
