How do I replace the clutch cable. In my 2008 Tuscan

A slow and sluggish shift in an automatic transmission can be caused by a variety of issues. Here are some potential causes to consider:

1. Low Transmission Fluid: A common cause of sluggish shifting is low transmission fluid. Check the fluid level and condition, and top it up or replace it if necessary. Low fluid levels can also indicate a leak in the system.
2. Worn Transmission Filter: Over time, the transmission filter can become clogged with debris and dirt, which can hinder the flow of fluid and affect the performance of the transmission. Replacing the transmission filter may help improve shifting performance.
3. Faulty Shift Solenoids: The shift solenoids are responsible for controlling the flow of transmission fluid through the valve body, and if they are damaged or malfunctioning, it can cause slow or sluggish shifting. A professional mechanic can diagnose and replace any faulty shift solenoids.
4. Malfunctioning Torque Converter: The torque converter is responsible for transferring power from the engine to the transmission, and if it is malfunctioning, it can cause slow and sluggish shifting. A professional mechanic can diagnose and replace any faulty torque converter.
5. Worn Clutch Plates or Bands: Over time, the clutch plates or bands in the transmission can wear down, causing poor shifting performance. Rebuilding or replacing the transmission may be necessary to resolve this issue.

It's important to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the issue with your Ford Explorer to accurately determine the cause of the slow and sluggish shifting. They can then recommend the appropriate repairs or maintenance to improve the transmission's performance.

if it worked before why a new clutch,,,(context wins, here/??????)
ok, so you the clutch is failing,
you never posted the symtoms, not really
does car start in gear with clutch depresses, or start to move
does car take off in 1st ?
or is it just moving fast issues>????
cant up shift, cant down shift
hard to shift. (blocks)
grinds.

my wild guess, based on no input is the clutch linkage,
was never adjustED
the side kicks (not sport 1.8L) all have
cable clutches, and the 1 inch rule stated here.
i bet you didnt adjust it or the linkage splines are damaged.
or the pedal is cracked , caused by bad cable.
always replace the cable first. is it breaks other things if not.

tell the full story and get ,very accurate tests to do,
and inspections.

possible that there is an issue with the torque converter clutch servo/solenoid operation
take it to an accredited service center and have it properly diagnosed

doesn't need a rebuild
try an oil change for the transmission as it indicates dirty oil and sticking balves
should have been changed at the 60000 miles mark or 120,000miles
run fault codes to check for torque converter clutch servo/ solenoid problem

It does sound like your clutch needs replacing. Adjusting the clutch may help but will not solve the problem. If the transmission has not been serviced for a long time it is a good idea to replace the transmission fluid, inspect the pressure plate. They may also start to wear.

Inspect your TPS (throttle position sensor) and the wire leads. If wire leads seam to be good, replace the TPS.
If your have a 700R4 transmission, check your TV cable and adjust accordingly. But i believe your Suburban has the 4L60E and is electronically controlled.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck. Simple and easy fix.

speedo speed sensor for cruise control

clutch self adjuster is bad,you need to replase cabel/try orileys auto parts first,or dealer for cable.

I would take it back to the mechanic, sounds like he might have just painted the old one. Hopefully they changed the throwout bearing too.

Try spraying all pivot points on linkage with wd40 or similar spray lube. Make sure nothing is rubbing against linkage that could be causing binding. Shift cable may be internally worn... if that's the case, you can shoot some lube into it where the cable goes into the casing, but generally it needs to be replaced.
