727 3rd gear feels more like a down shift

Glad you got it fixed so easy Dave. I've had cables get out of adjustment before but never did what yours did but that's how it goes with these mechanical marvels
Easy once I figured it out. Funny how that works...
Got lucky and had a cable hanging on the wall and notice how much smaller the eye on it was. The one in the car measured 17/64 and the other one was 3/16. Just enough slop to not let it get all the way in gear. Doesn't seem like much but when I had someone shift and watched the lever and it wouldn't fully engage.
