I have one question, should this have affected how the trans shifts? Because I am now using less pedal to obtain speed, it seems that the shifts are occurring too soon. It may have been out of adjustment prior to the "Tune-up" but I cant be sure.
any ideas? |
Yep, on a 603 it's downright astounding.........you'll never go back.
You have affected the trans shifting characteristics and you'll need to tighten the Bowden cable slightly to delay the shifts a bit. The adjustment is a white plastic adjustment screw on the cable right below and slightly forward of the oil filter. Turn the screw three turns toward you to tighten the cable.
