The factory service manual has info on the Engine end of it. Never paid attention to see if the manual has the Transmission ends. But, since there is little transmission stuff in the CD factory service manual my guess is there is nothing on the transmission end.

Try the repair links by part.

Lucky if the plastic adjustment nut at the valve-cover end isn't broken. I fixed 'er by cutting a 1/4" copper tubing the proper length, with a spiraled axial slit to allow slipping it over the cable. "Proper" length is your question. It affects when at what rpm the shifts occur. There is also a vacuum signal input from the VCV on the IP linkage which affects shifts based on engine torque. A bit hokey as that signal is supposed to simulate the intake vacuum in a gasoline engine which uses the same transmission.
