does your car have cruise control?
I dont have a auto, but generally you will have 1 to 3 cables
Main 1 being your throttle cable, which is operated via your foot pedal inputs.
2nd if you have cruise, is controller from the cruise control unit etc.
and If you have an auto, you will have a kickdown cable, this is wired down into the transmission, when you put your foot down, and it jumps down a gear or 2, this is the kickdown cable acting in the trans to drop a gear. Simple as that
Also looking now, its just a kickdown cable
you want them to have a very slight ammount of slack on the cables, but not loose, this will ensure its kicking down at the correct throttle opening and you are getting full throttle

Line Pressure Cable . As throttle is applied , the Line pressure cable is tightened . There is a sensor in the gearbox this cable runs to , which then decides how much throttle is being used, as to how fast or slow the gearchanges are going to be .
Dont loosen it off too much or it will burn out the clutch packs in the gearbox .
