It's not a kickdown cable any more. It's called a TV cable, because it operates the Throttle Valve in the trans, which controls fluid line pressure as well as the upshift points and downshifts.
To adjust, have the engine off, push in the recessed "D" shaped retainer and slide the inner cable housing all the way toward the firewall. Then open the throttle all the way by hand and the TV cable should ratchet out to where it wants to be. When I did mine, it didn't want to ratchet out on it's own, so I coaxed it by grabbing the TV cable where it clips onto the linkage, and pulled it forward as I opened the throttle. Basically, the TV cable wants to be fully extended at WOT (wide open throttle).
