Bowden cable

Hi,

I had a similar problem with my bowden cable. I sort of bent it while removing my oil filter. The car would shift, but at a higher RPM. I straightened the cable and put a few drops of ATF through the sleeve and most of the linkages. That solved my problem.

BOWDEN CABLE: It's the cable running from your tranny to the throttle linkage. It's right next to or even touching the oil filter. Remove your air filter assembly and it'll be obvious.

cheers,
