weird,
This is the thing that adjusts it. The little bolt is loosened & you can move the slide. Making its length shorter (this makes the cable tighter) will raise the change points. The higher rpm the change point, the smoother it appears, but if it changes at lower rpm, with a slow take off it may change hard. The whole set up is just a compromise.
If you have got to the end of the adjustment on the slide, the cable may have stretched. Have some one put their foot to the floor on the throttle & see if there is any slack left in the cable going to the trans (pull the cable inner side ways near the little crank arm; the cable is in the red rubber bit in the pic).
Hope that helps.
Good luck weird, I cant blame it on WVO this time !!
