Did you tighten it up all the way?

Chris

P.S. I did notice a difference on my 1998 that I'm selling. You should notice even shifting from park to drive and park to reverse, pretty easily.

Well, to be honest, I kind of stumbled across this mod about 1 1/2 - 2 years ago when I installed my K&N FIPK and Power Toilet(as someone called it) spacer on my 2000. I adjusted that shift cable and definitely noticed the firmer shifts. It's been shifting firm for about 20,000 miles with no problems. But, I don't have it adjusted all the way as someone mentioned. Probably only about half that much. I like the way it shifts but was concerned that it was hurting something. I guess this whole thread tells me that it is ok. I know that most of you probably won't believe me, but you can ask FattyCBR becasue I had PM'd him about this over on ODW before this board even existed. I had asked him about the cables and about the tranny shifting firmer. Well, good luck with the mod.

Chris:

I stand corrected. I took it for a longer ride and it does shift alittle sooner and a bit harder.

Thanks for the tip on the mod

That's awesome man! I can't take the credit for this mod, that's for sure. If you guys ever have any other technical questions, I'm sure John at IPT could help you answer them. He's real knowledgable and the one that told me about this mod when he did my Valve body recalibration. I'm glad you guys like the mod, because I sure did.

You need to buy 12 new injector o-rings. They'll know exactly what you're talking about. You'll transfer over the large rubber grommet and use the new o-rings on the top and bottom of the RC injectors.

One more thing: Soak the o-rings and grommets in corn oil before putting them in. This will keep them lubricated long enough to install them.

so basically we are increasing the fluid presure within the tranny, so the shifts are shorter and firmer.

i have an '01 S/C 4Runner, but i do not see this cable that u all are talking about. the only one that resembles anything close to what u are talking about is the idle adjuster. from the pic that was posted earlier, the only cable i see is the 1 in front. i don't have 2. any suggestions?
