Let me try that again, no you don't have to open the tranny, the cable adjuster is on the outside.

i believe if u just give me an idea of what i need to do, i can go check it out, (location and whatnot around tranny)

Yeah I second, or third that... my money is on the kick down cable needing an adjustment, or needing a replacement...

is this "adjusting" the cable something like adjusting the throttle cable? where am i looking for this bad boy. gladit would only be that, i was thinking my torque converter went all Fubar'ed or tranny did..
