I definitely see an affect of the bowden cable on my shift firmness in my w124. If I adjust it to have shifts at low RPM, I am more likely to have a soft shift or mini-flare. If I adjust it to have high RPM shifts, the shift quality improves. It may be an indirect effect that at higher RPM... perhaps there is more vacuum or something like that. But regardless of the reason, I can say with 100% certainty that tightening my bowden cable improved my shift quality.
