The best way to adjust it is to hook a pressure gage to the TV pressure port located on the left side of the transmission just ahead of the linkage. You want it to be a zero at idle but pressure starts moving as soon as you move the linkage.
Your transmission is the ford AOD,
you cannot safely adjust the tv cable for shift timing.
the tv "kick down cable" is for throttle angle input to the transmission, this cable pulls a lever in the valve body which interacts with the throttle valve, this is how the line pressure is adjusted in proportion to throttle angle, if this cable is misadjusted than transmission failure will soon follow.
it takes a pressure gauge and a great deal of knowledge of this transmission to set the cable correctly.
please take your vehicle to the nearest transmssion shop and have that cable adjusted properly ASAP.
as for the shifting issues, this could be a plugged filter, poor fluid quality, valve body malfunction or governer malfunction,
get your cable adjusted correctly, if that does not resolve your problem than contact me at [email protected] and i can walk you through further diagnostics.
