It's called the "kick down something or other" No idea how to fix it though.

"kick down something or other" + now i figure out it was so cable or something that goes from the accelrater to the tranny = kickdown cable.

sorry to be a smart ass but i couldn't resist

To remove the kickdown cable, you have to remove the trans pan, and then you will be able see the plastic hex nut that secures it. Be careful not to tighten the new one up very much, because it is plastic, and I have seen many a mechanic break it off.
