    nope. One year only setup. This is the cable, on the throttle body side its basically just a a piece of round stock sticking down with a groove cut into it for the cable to slide over.

    I may be a bit biased but I really think it was a better design. No stupid plastic thing to fail and nuke the transmission, and it doesn't require taking anything apart to adjust it. Just pull the release and move the cable.

      General Motors switched to that style end sometime in the late 70's, maybe early 80's for their tv and kick down cables.

        yeah its very much like a 200R4 / 700R4 cable. Why they didn't stick to it I don't know, its a much better design than the stupid plastic bushing that fails.

          Well today I had the car out on a 100 mile run. I have to say that since the addition of almost 3qts of tranny fluid the car does not shake rattle and roll when I stomp the gas to go into passing gear.
          Also no more trans slipping

              yeah it was probably sucking air and the clutches were chattering. Very not good.
