Default Rough shifting tranny... 2.9 87 ranger

Tranny is shifting hard.... During normal driving I have to mash the pedal to get it to even kick down a gear.... Now mind you the track hasn't moved in three years.... HELP!!! Where do I start!!??

Look at gas pedal. If two cables, one is throttle, one is kickdown. They stretch over time, and you may need to do the tie wrap mod on the kickdown. I did, as this 89 would not engage the kickdown when fully depressed. Then time smoothed the shifting out.

Ok thanks for the advice I'll try that. I did the mod to the throttle cable. I'll try it next with the kickdown.
