I've recently tightened the line pressure cable again, and have noticed that whenever I do so it seems to affect the cars take off.
Normally i'll get wheel spin off the line, but with the LPC tightened the car seems to launch a bit sluggish.
Does this make any sense? Is there any way the LPC could affect take off?

Cheers, Sean.

I thought this, but it does shift harder so i'm not sure now.

If you're looking at the engine front on, I have less thread to the left. I assumed it would be the same as the throttle cable.

If your standing on the drivers side looking at the cable , do you mean you have little thread towards the firewall and more thread towards the radiator ?

If so , and you have loosened it , you will have possibly hurt the clutches .

Tightening it will leave alot of thread towards the firewall and little to no thread on the radiator side of the cable .

If you're looking at the car from the radiator, then there was little thread to the left. Mine runs the same way as the throttle cable and the cruise cable, just on the other side.

I've set it to around the middle, and it seems to have a good mix of both harder shifts and launch.

I read somewhere on this forum that tightening the line pressure cable (firmer shifts) gives you less stall, and loosening it (sloppier shifts) gives you more stall but increases the chance of burning certain clutch packs?
