Kickdown cable 700 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be Sarah on  Fri Oct 12 12:28 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hi
I’m trying to figure out how to adjust this kickdown cable, but I’m not doing too well. I’m having hard shifts after 30 miles per hour. I read previous posts and the faq. I am missing something.

The crimp on the cable is against the orange rubber piece, and the cable is fairly loose that it almost sags. I can pull out about 2 inches of the cable until I finally hear the “click”, but I don’t know how to set the tension. There are the two nuts behind the orange cap. I have tried tightening them and loosening them, but nothing happens. Please explain this to me very simply. I don’t have the money to have someone do this for me, and I would like to do it myself.

Thanks.
Sarah
