Hi, in new to this site and I hope I can find the info I'm after for my VN. She's a auto and when I place her into Drive, she get's stuck in 1st gear. I haven't driven her very far or much since that happened. She did it one before years ago, then slid into the gear she was ment to (I can't remember if I slammed my foot down or not). I've been told to pull on the kickdown cable to fix her, but I have no idea where it is located. Can anyone help, or any advice on what else it may be would be greatly appreciated

| On the throttle body, there are two cables. One has a "lobe" that hooks onto the throttle, the other is hooked in as a kind of counter-cable. The throttle body is a metal arrangement at the end of the large rubber tube connected to the air filter. Gently tug on the one that isn't the throttle cable, and you will feel a click. If it keeps doing this, ask an auto trans. place to fit an anti-stick spring |

| Ok thanx for that. Have checked it, a lil click, so I hope that was it. I looked at the hook and it's partly broken off. Could that have some impact? |

| Yes, because it might mean that the cable has more play than it should |
