240 89 B230F auto 292K kilometers.
When it gets REALLY COLD, like under -20 degrees celcius...
The kickdown cable gets sticky.... refuses takes a while to go back in (at throttle), so it shifts late.
It does not feel like there is any broken steel in the wire, it just feels "sticky". also when it's warmer it does not seem to be an issue.

Question: I tried sprayign a bit of WD40 down the wire, but no major help. I am scared to keep spraying thinking that anything I spray ends up in the tranny... is this true???
