That's pretty much been the case for me as well...more important issues...like, keeping the beast on the road at all! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/drunk.gif" alt="" />

I have yet to run across much of anything that describes how to "tune" the CC gear on this rig, but then, I could look a little deeper into the subject than I have.

I have the Haynes manual and a two-volume Helms factory manual, so if I muster some time this week maybe I'll take a closer look. I don't want to say "they all do this" but mine behaves exactly as you described yours: sluggish to get set and not too reliable overall. Just finding the cable under the pedal certainly helped anyway! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cyclops.gif" alt="" />

I have noticed the CC, once it takes, does work better on a long flat drive relatively free of up and down grades. That's partly due to the auto tranny, I think. The autos on these universally have always had to "search" for the right gear a lot of the time, so coupled with the finicky CC can make for unpleasant cruising on the highway. I just gave up trying.

Will check back if I get some research done.
