65 Kickdown Adjustment

[Bill <Y1TopBanana73@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there a certain method to adjusting the kickdown linkage on my 65? My 
Coronet seems to short shift first and is very difficult to get to 
downshift from 3rd to 2nd. I basically have to floor it to get it to do 
the 3-2 shift. Also in town, unless I come to a COMPLETE stop, I'll take 
off out of the turn in 3rd gear 98% of the time. I adjusted the kickdown 
rod longer just like I have in the past w/ other vehicles, and it helped 
a LITTLE, but I didn't want to put to much pre-tension on the adjustment 
because I know that can cause problems.

Thanks
