Default adjusted kick down cable and WOW!

found out how to do it, came home and did it right away

cant believe the difference

firmer shifts...almost feels like a shift kit....

jeep can really get up and move!

best part

cost was nothing and it takes literally 10 seconds to do!

i would suggest it to anyone...i will plan on doing this every oil change for sure

mine is almost better than brand new...seriously...i honestly feel if i floored it....i mean pedal all the way down, my jeep would chirp going into 2nd gear

i couldnt believe it

process, just search youtube for t.v cable adjustment jeep cherokee

you will see in the video, but here is how you do it

push down the button and hold it down
slide the conduit in while the button is being pressed down
release the button
not the part you just pushed in will stay there

go inside and push the gas pedal to the floor or just open your throttle body
all the way open (wide open throttle)
you will hear it click 3 or 4 times

and your done, literally, takes 10 seconds to do, and makes a ton of difference

again, if you search it here on the forums, or google , or you tube

I found it hear, but then watched 2 vids on youtube, just to be clear....

tip: spray it with wd40 or something...just to keep it lubricated....i gave mine a little spray and it slide pretty easy

im anxious to see if my mpg goes up any
