Followup to: transmission on its way out at 130K??? 200

The kickdown cable is a simple adjustment, like Simon said. It won't cure hard shifts (which aren't unusual if they're happening anyway...) but it will cure the late shift problem unless it is something more serious.

If the transmission behaves well otherwise (meaning, it doesn't slip or have any other massive malfunctions) I would ignore the recommendation to replace it.

Or, better still, drive on it for a while, and search for a spare used one. There's no need to get extravagant with an AW70 and have it rebuilt; they don't break that often and usually the $200 or so you spend on a used one is well worth the money.

But again, the AW70 transmission routinely goes well over 200,000 miles if cared for properly. 200,000 miles and up.
