    The shifter cable is fine like that, the kickdown cable up at the injection pump should have a bit of freeplay etc.

    Something a bit sticky there I would think, there is a fair bit of fault finding on the RAVE Cd, give it a squiz.

    Sorry Damo, just looked back at this post again,

    The kickdown cable on the Tdi (and the V8 for that matter) will have a bit of slack against spring pressure that is exerted from the return spring down in the box connected to the 'cam' assembly, which actuates the actual shift pressure valve when the cable is moved. The rate in which this valve is moved is determined by the cam profile,(Different profiles even between V8 and diesel, model years, bla bla )and the adjustment available on the injector pump throttle lever (those 4 holes) The overall cable length adjustment is easier to determine by depressing the pedal to the floor and just off the floor a resistance should be felt, like a detent. This is the full 'dump' for downshift. The rate of pressure rise can be adjusted by trying the different holes out, but basically driveability is the best way to adjust these without a gauge. Gearchanges should be clean and at a reasonable revs, throttle position and road speed. I sometimes need about 30 minutes of driving and adjusting to setup a ZF after fitting a new downshift cable.
