    Hey guys, i tool the Air pipe off the throttle body to have a look in the throttle body and i got a mate to get in the car and put his foot on the pedal and it wasnt opening up enoughonly about 80% and full throttle the cable is tight. SO i loosen off the kick down cable and then told him to put his foot on the pedal and it opened up fully well 90-95% so i shaved the throttle stopper so it went to 100% so thats all good now but with my auto how it is being a prick it changes to early i tightened it up as much as it will go with throttle body open fully, but it still changes to early, i have to have it up so it is aggresive and will change when i want it to and be smoother into the gears cause the auto on its way out, but if i have it up high the throttle body only opens 80% but yeah thought i might post up the info on it, cause it might be a problem with your car to lol, any1 got any ideas untill i do my manual conversion cheers :thumbsup:

    move the kickdown slider to the left and turn the throttle flat stick and it will reset itself, adjust it further to the left marginally to allow it to rev more in first if it doesnt already after resetting.

    the transmission supposed to change at 20km/h, what speed is it changing into second at?

    You can adjust the kickdown to the left 1mm at a time and retest it. unless you have a stretched acc cable....
