Thanks.
It was rebuilt locally a couple years ago. The place is no longer in business. I've tried to contact the person who rebuilt it through email, but he hasn't returned it.
I'll have to do some leverage modifications in order to get both WOT and full TV range. At this point I would welcome any kickdown or late shifts just because I'd know I'm getting somewhere

I guess this could also cause my 2nd gear starts if it is too loose? If it does start in first, it shifts very quickly.
I have yet to drive it since my adjustment yesterday.
Oh, the tension doesn't seem to be any worse without the car running, it might actually be a little easier to pull the cable with it running now that I think about it.
