KICK-DOWN CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Kick-down cable adjustment is one of the most critical adjustments that affect the operation
of the transmission.
The BD Performance Valve Body is a performance product and not stock, therefore the
factory specifications for this adjustment are used only as a guide.
Your drivability and performance demands will determine your shift
Kick down cable adjustments are for Full Throttle shift points & passing gear only.
Throttle shift points should be adjusted on the valve body throttle valve stop.
12 VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
On trucks equipped with the 12-valve 5.9 6BTA, full throttle shift between 2
occur between 2400 – 2500RPM (OEM) with the transmission at operating temperature.
IMPORTANT - Locate the kick-down cable and MARK THE CABLE at the original setting
before any adjustments are made.
NOTE: Disconnecting the cable from the support bracket and the throttle lever is a difficult
task; it may be easier to adjust without removing cable.
