727 Kickdown Linkage Adjustment - HELP!

George, leaving 1/8" of play at WOT is allot. No wonder it wouldn't kickdown. Split the difference and see what happens. Sometimes just a half turn of the linkage will make a difference. It's like anything else you have to fine tune it.

I allways start with no slack at all then test drive it and if needed back off the adjustment 1/2 turn at a time until I get it where I like it. Sometimes you may have to drive it 3 or 4 times to get it right but that shouldn't be hard. Only takes up a little time and $5 worth of gas.
