So i did this today and when going to WOT the conduit only came out about one click. Then i went on the test drive and the shift from first to second was pretty rough (got a little better the more i drove) but all the others seemed smooth and just fine. Does this all sound fairly normal?? Just wanna make sure I did everything right!!

very nice!
I had a vexing prob with my overdive not changing smoothly.
This little fix makes my tranny transitions like butter!
take 5 mins and do it.

I was under the hood tracing a vacuum leak so I went ahead and did this while I was in there. I haven't noticed a difference so maybe it was already adjusted correctly.

I believe you are right. It appears that the button must be depressed when going to WOT, then released. Releasing it before WOT, restricted TB lever movement (read - no WOT).......

Just hold down the button, push the black plastic thing in all the way, let go if the button, and then take the throttle control and twist it all the way open. You will hear a clicking and popping noise as the black plastic thing you pushed in earlier slides back out to the correct position.

Just did this. Definitely firmed up the shifts. Fixed a vacuum leak too so that may have helped too. Now if this unit bearing would just buy an replace itself I'd be in business
