Issue with kickdown using BPE cable kit

That's what I figured, harder shifts when pulled back. I'll look into the neutral thing, but I'm not sure that's what it was. Doesn't the manual valve with the TF2 change that behavior?

Also though...if you pull the throttle valve lever all the way back with your hand, the spring will not pull it forward. At all. That can't be right, can it? Oh, and yes I had the cable adjusted to be pulled all the way at WOT. I'll have to get under the car to confirm, that was just done with me pulling on the cable from above while adjusting.

The new manual valve with the kit along with a hole drilled in the valve body is supposed to fill the converter in park but it does it at such a slow rate it's almost like nothing at all. If I start mine and leave it in drive I noticed I have to give it 4-5 minutes before the converter is full and will pull.

That is odd that it's not returning. The throttle valve has a internal spring that kicks it back automatically. I wonder if the cable is sticking?
