I just had my transmission rebuilt. The transmission is shifting and engaging perfect. I am noticing that it's taking pushing the gas pedal half way down just to get the car rolling from a dead stop... is there anything I can adjust to get a quicker pedal response?

Sounds like your kick down switch may need adjusting? The linkage in the back?

sounds like the linkage bushing to me. easy to replace and cheap. they go bad about every 60k

Thank you both very much! There is a lot of play where that bushing is. Can you get this bushing at autohausaz?

Yeah, I believe he has it, or if all else fails, MB

Check the entire linkage at the rear of the engine; there are a few bushings in addition to the one illustrated. Make sure all the mounting bolts, most of which fasten the intake manifold to the heads, are all tightened to 25Nm.
