I have installed this cable and I can tell you, adjusting it to be just right is a breeze.  Chirpping 2nd and 3rd gear.  I never knew how good my trans was until I put this cable on.  It never would chirp the tires when shifting and it shifted too soon.  NOw I got it just right  :burnout:

Forgive my ignorance but the cable determines shift points?  I thought it only determined kickdown point.   :clueless:

It determines both and basically is the life of the transmission. (hydraulic pressure rise also)

crude definition of 727 shift point = governor pressure > tp (kickdown) pressure

Bouchillon kit is tremendous time/labor saver if you deviate from stock kickdown. Couldn't be easier, good quality, great people to deal with.
