I agree...BUT he needs to get the tools out. I think we're dealing with someone with very little mechanical aptitude......and there's nothing wrong with that. Hell, nobody knows everything and I'm sure whatever the OP does for a living, he's good at. We caint all turn wrenches for a living. I get it. But that throttle cable dealio is a five minute job.....maybe ten if you've never done it. I know that's easy for me to say having been a mechanic and whatnot for forty years. I want to see what he thinks once the throttle is working right. I bet he gets a big smile on his face.

That's a valid point, but even people with tons of aptitude can smoke a trans if they don't know exactly how it's supposed to operate.

Hell, I have no clue how I would set a 518 and would probably be here asking a million questions before monkeying with one. Not that I would build an auto car, but that's another topic, haha.

You're 100% right though. Once it's right, op is going to have an even harder time parting with the car..

I'm hoping he strikes gold Monday (he's due!) and gets a trans tech who is worth 2 ***** and helps get the kickdown AND throttle squared away because a good one should be able to without question.
