#1 of 1 9/95 blazer kickdown adjustment by raven71 May 14, 2008 (1:37 pm)
like said above how do you adjust the kick-down on a 9-95 blazer 4.3L with 3 speed and OD trans. I released pressure on the clip at the throttle. Do I allow the spring pressure to take up slack and then lock or do I need some play in the cable. My problem is it feels like I have 1-3rd but not OD. Sometimes when it kicks down it starts to bog and not up-shift unless I release my foot from the accelerator slightly. Now I am use to a 93 GMC S-15 and when I say no OD I mean it either is so smooth compared to the GMC or it shifts sometimes into 4th I keep it in the OD drive and manually put it into 3rd and it downshifts. My problem is I do not know if it is going from 4 to 3 or from 3-2. I have no trouble codes. So I want to try and adjust the Kick-down cable first. Thanks
