i actually told him to check his tranny... we checked the and its almost below the line so i suggested that he should change the fluid..

About sa squeaking sound sa may front drivers seat.... check nyo alugin yun rig nyo. baka sa bushing dun sa may torsion bar yun diperensya

What's a "kickdown cable"?

oops, di ko agad nasubmit, hehe

iirc banaweonline here sells rancho shocks. :D

promdiboy, i'll try to canvas those parts sa el dorado (with discount. hehehe) later. will post asap once i have the info.

badsekktor, baka nga tranny issue na yan, ok naman sa reverse eh.

The Rancho 5000 is not adjustable. The Rancho 9000 have 5 damper settings, although AFAIK this is not available in the market anymore. The Rancho 9000x is the one with 9 damper settings.

ay. my bad. hehehe. thanks for clearing it up. :D

No problem nugundam93. Just wanted to clear things up as well to avoid confusion.

Larshell, drop me a PM or an email (paj4x41989*yahoo.com) if you're interested in acquiring Rancho dampers. I can get a good deal for you over here in Bangkok.

it's the cable next in-line with the acceleration cable... I'm not making any sense?...

others call it "trans throttle cable" others say "Transmission cable"

The kickdown cable is used to regulate a pressure in transmission valve body. This is called throttle pressure.
The throttle pressure is effectively a pressure that "tells" shift valves in transmission how hard you pushing throttle and these shift valves now have a contest to see if governor pressure or throttle pressure is going to win. This pressure is also used to apply the clutches/brakes that engage a gear and the higher pressure goes along with higher engine power at higher throttle. Firmer shifts are a result of higher throttle pressure.
If throttle pressure wins the contest the trans remains in lower gear, if governor pressure wins the trans upshifts.
Governor pressure is directly related to driveshaft, and thus road speed.
If you tighten cable you increase throttle pressure and the whole shift point/road speed "map" goes higher.
If you loosen cable the shift point map moves lower.
The trans throttle cable (kickdown cable) also depresses a valve if you (or the throttle spool) pull the cable all the way out past that hard spot which is a detent to make you aware of the actual kickdown feature.
The kickdown valve increases the throttle pressure drastically above the linear rate that you get from the rest of the throttle pedal travel range and makes the gearbox goes to lowest possible gear allowed at the road speed you are at when you activate it.

again, I'm no expert and not sure if new A/T gas engines have these things...

Wow, thanks for the info! Question: Can I have those settings checked if they are still "correct"? Na kung tama pa pag up/down shift? It got me thinking kasi minsan naiinip ako magshift yun paj ko e. Thanks!

..can any mechanic check that or casa equipment lang?

sorry, never been to casa for this problem yet. and mechanics I met are not that knowledgable. Auto trannys kasi eh... but I'm sure our expert members here can help you.

I only apply this method if problem is the "late upshift". but if the issue is kung tama ba ang shifting like "if it's too late or too early", then I don't know how to solve that... hehe...

If I step the accelerator pedal quickly (jack rabbit style), I go downshift and get high rpm quickly, yet not impressed with the speed acceleration... this is where I loosen it a bit. downshift will occur at 90% of pushing pedal to full. level adjustment depends on each vehicles...

some peeps may say it's normal, and it's probably is. but I really don't like it. I prefer, smoother ride even I jack rabbit style my pedal...

other thing I apply:

If I step the accelerator pedal progressively, yet 1st to 2nd to 3rd shift are late. this is where I check the Fuel Injection.

like what the "kickdown cable" is doing, if you are pushing pedal deeper, kickdown cable might downshift. but if your Fuel Injection gives enough power, you don't need to push pedal deeper, so kickdown won't be able to downshift your gear.

it's like you are setting the timing for your "automatic overdrive"...

there are still factors for late upshifts like atf, electronic, gearbox and tranny itself.

regards to badsekktor's friend. if it was an old diesel engine with a/t. I would check if it's tighten. tighten kickdown cable kasi gives the sipa and hataw feeling at start.

this is just my personal experience with old 2nd hand diesel vehicles and I know nothing with new Engines specialy Gas one.
