My friend was told that if he adjusted the long dog leg shaped rod that connects the throttle with the TPS that it would firm up his ***** so he pulled if off (by hand) and unscrewed each end a few turns and put it back on. It totally worked, delayed and firmed up the shifts (even the soft 2-3) as good or better than my valve body does! But now he is saying that the pedal bottoms out at around 1/2 throttle no matter how hard he presses. I personally have never played with this linkage, I suspect its like a old school kick down linkage on a carbureted gasser but could use some help on this one
Is there a stock length to get him back to where it was?

You're not supposed to have that linkage adjusted to anything except 5".

Perfect thank you Infidel That is exactly what I was needing! We just tired screwing them all the way in for kicks and now its back to soft shifts and climbing the driveway in 2nd gear. Will post up a follow-up as soon as the rain stops
