won't downshift into first while moving.

my car starts out in first from a start but flooring it while moving stays in second.if i pull out from a side road and then floor it it trudges along in second gear.i tried adjust the 'kickdown' cable twice.btw i swapped in a 3.42 rear.any ideas?i can never remember the name of that cable.

It's a TV(throttle variation) cable and it has to be set properly. There is no "adjustment".
