I have to give the people who market WD-40 credit... I see it suggested for use in so many places where it has no effect. It is not a lubricant; it is a water displacer. Works great on wet distributors and sparkplug wires to remove or displace the moisture.

Chances are the kickdown cable is hanging up. Sometimes you can bring them back, at least for a while, with lubrication. Take the cable loose from the spool that is activated by the accelerator. Then remove the nut that holds it in position. This allows you to hold it up and put gravity to work for you. Drip some PB Blaster or Kroil into the end of the sheath. Give it time to run down the inside of the length of the kickdown cable. Repeat several times. Work the cable back and forth as this speeds the procedure. The cable should begin to move a little easier. Now drip light weight oil into the cable and allow it to soak in. Keep working the cable back and forth. After the oil has had a chance to run the length of the cable reinstall. Hope that it helps.
