Capri - Borg Warner 35 Kickdown Adjustment

I am gradually sorting out a few little things with my 1600XL after the engine rebuild.  So far, it is going really well & am gradually increasing my distances from home & running things in. Still running a fraction too warm but maybe the new temperature sender is working really well. I might consider some different type of coolant if it is necessary.
The little problem at the moment is the kickdown from second to first gear at really slow speed. It kicks down when nearly stopped or stopped but turning an uphill corner & it doesn't open up properly. I have adjusted both the kickdown cable & the accelerator cable but I might just require a bit more on one. It is not far off the spot & all the other shift downs & shift ups and really good. I might have to consult with my resident expert if I can't get it any better.
This picture shows where the cables were adjusted before the engine rebuild & they are very similar now so it just requires a bit more adjustment & trial.
