Continued Auto Tranny Issues 200 1983

KD cable:

Yes, a new cable sounds better over the medium of written words. Used ones are usually pretty well cooked where they pass by the exhaust header, allowing moisture to collect through a leaky sheath.

There are many pitfalls installing them too; kinks, broken retainer fingers and so forth. A test as you suggest should quickly identify the cable problem.

Fuse:

The relay is unlikely to cause the fuse to blow. More likely is a bare spot on the solenoid wire under the car. Now, if the fuse has been increased in amperage, the relay could suffer when that bare wire shorts out.

Both of these problems would be related to the transmission service.
