1991 Ford Explorer Kickdown problems

KICKDOWN CONTROL CABLE ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE:Kickdown control cable can self-adjust .5-1.5" (13-38 mm) after installation by depressing accelerator pedal to floor. No adjustment is required, but cable must be locked in adjusted position manually. Cable must be adjusted whenever it is removed or replaced.

INITIAL ADJUSTMENT (A4LD)
If cable has been replaced or removed, adjust kickdown cable. From under the hood, depress the D-flat while pulling the cable conduit out from cable body. See Fig. 7 . Adjust cable by depressing accelerator pedal to floor.
NOTE:If transmission kickdown is difficult to achieve at wide open throttle, ensure aftermarket floor mats have not been installed or mispositioned behind accelerator pedal, thus restricting full pedal movement.
