I didn't think you could adjust them with the cable. If you want to check it, then have someone hold the throttle wide open. you should be able to move the lever on the trany about an 1/8" or so. It should not bottom out but be very close. to loose and you don't get enough pressure on the clutches. cause shifing to early, and of course poor kickdown. which all relates to over heating of the internal parts, cause by friction. friction is bad.
