    sory for double post but..

    if it feels like its slipping make it more tight.. or if its too tight loosen it up
    make sure your throttle butterfly is opening up all the way when ur cars turned off and have the intake pipe out..
    so have a mate there with u to push down on the accelerate

    to adjust kick down cable

    1st press grey button and pull sleeve back (towards drivers side) as far as it ill go

    2nd (with car turned off) open throttle body to the 100% open position - u will see kickdown cable adjust as u do it

    3rd make sure you went to full 100% throttle - just turn the throttle as far as you possibly can

    this will adjust it corectly

    above thread is correct. they are self adjusting, just have to make them tight first.
