Cable Shift TF Adjustment

[Polara Pat]

I got my 727 back from Pat Blais but wasn't 100% sure on the the shift cable adjustment. Currently I'm getting forward gears in N and R. It's a console shift '65 Satellite. I know that the wheel on the housing adjusts the shift points but wasn't sure on the correct procedure.

Thanks, I'll give this a go.

If you're in doubt about the adjustment, remove the NSS and look in the hole. The contact should be in the center of the hole in P and N.

great oldie but goodie tip
forgot that one
time for a service on the Dakota- I'm going to check that one as my shift bushings are worn out and no longer available so I have to fab some

Alright, so I adjusted it up and what do you know? I have N and R. I'm finding that I'm getting a bit of a shift flash (that's the best way I can think to describe it) on my 1-2 shift. I suppose this could also be a band adjustment issue.

Proper kickdown linkage adjustment?

That's a really good point. Everything is so new on this combo that I'm at a loss where to start narrowing it down. It'll get better soon.

During an automatic upshift or manual?
