I just replaced and adjusted the TPS on my 3FE and the kickdown behavior seems to have gotten worse after I put everything back together. 2nd gear is now shifting at 2500-3000rpm. I've tried taking some slack out of the cable with the nut adjustment, but I'm wondering if I pulled the cable in an odd way causing some out of spec slack in the cable. I can push the cable back in it's housing, it walks out with one throttle depress.
The thing that has me worried is it's walking out what seems past the 1.5mm maximum tolerance from the FSM and the findings in this thread: 91 3FE Kick Down Cable? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/91-3fe-kick-down-cable.748668/
The cable is far enough out of the housing to push a bend in the cable itself.
Does this mean the entire kickdown cable needs replacing or have I set the adjustment in the wrong way by seating the cable end first and then tightening it? You can see by the clean threads above the nut, I've taken about about 4-5 threads so far.
