If you have not disturbed the linkage between the AT and the throttle body, the shift points should not be affected. Don't fix it if it ain't broke. Don't try to adjust shift points by tightening or loosening the cable from the gas pedal. There should be a little slack in the cable at idle. Larry A. |
