Herr  Doktor, how must one adjust the cable  properly?

Luther,
My experience is with the rod, but cable adjustment should be  similar.



Shortening the cable will raise the shift points.  You can do this  gradually 
until the trans shifts at, or near, the marks in each gear with  WOT.  For a 
final check, on coast down, moving the shift lever from 4 to 3  should result 
in an immediate shift to 3.  If it does not, you have the  cable too short and 
must loosen it until the the down shift occurs.  Look  for a way to speed up 
the cable travel by lengthening the bell crank, to  raise the shift points.
 
Always count turns and take measurements so you can get back to your best  
settings.
 
Regards,
