Kick-down cable snapped on Interstate 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be first 740 on  Sat Feb 26 14:00 CST 2005 [RELATED]

If it actually snapped you could pull it out of the cable sheath. If it came loose in the transmission from the 'spool' (it undwinds from the transmission spool and winds on the engine spool), then you could pull it out till the end 'rivet' hit the cable end maybe 6". I had a similiar problem, slack at the engine spool. The cable was binding within the sheath and transmission return spring could not rewind it. It was always in kickdown mode. I could push it back in and get normal shifting. Then I disconnected it from engine spool and drove it till trans flush time. Then I replaced the cable/sheath. I suppose I could have lubed it with some motocycle cable lube?
