Duster

I just finished installing a new tranny in my 1986 honda accord and I was wondering about the adjustment of the kickdown cable.

Right now it is shifting at 4250 rpm's obvsiously high, so I need it to shift lower so i move the nuts on the kick-down cable down correct?? thanks guys

When you press the gas pedal at idle, the throttle pressure lever should just start to move as the rpms start to rise.

You have to loosen the nuts on the cable above the lever to adjust it. That what you need?

No what i needed was to figure out which way the nuts needed to be moved in order to make the car shift at lower rpms, but i figured it out..

Adjusting this cable, will it solve my hesitation or surge at 75 mph and about 3500 rpms?

Probably not. You could try checking your ignition timing.
