The AW70 transmission in my '88 745 wagon seems to be shifting from 2nd to 3rd at higher speed than it should. I'm sure it used to shift around 50-55 kmh (30 mph) but now it doesn't shift until I'm up to 60 kmh. I have: 1) adjusted the kick down cable (to the point of being slack), 2) checked that the cable is not seized, 3) and I can hear the click from the transmission when I pull and release the cable. I still can't make it shift at a lower speed. Does anyone know what the "factory setting" was for this transmission? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
