that is a big job you will have to dissassemble the tranny and adjust with feeler gauges to factor spec!

well i would have the the shift control unit looked at by a tranny shop i dont think the 1997 has a kick down cable but if it does then its just an adjustment either way i dont think the "tranny" is the problem i would say either the control modual or the cable if it has one
