Kickdown Question

Well, it pretty much echoes what you said.
The early cars wouldn't kick down unless you floored it. You have it adjusted so that the kd arm never goes completely back as it should.

I'm not trying to argue or be combative/contrary.
I'm new and I'm learning and I'm trying to fix my own s**t myself.

So..... keep adjusting TV rod until it holds passing gear a little longer or ????
I still think I should do the lower adjustment, just because.
