kick-down cable adjustment? 700 1990

I appologize for my ignorance because I am getting more and more confused. Here is my assumption with out having bought a new cable. I am guessing that the cable comes a predetermined length with the little dohiggies on each end. The cable rides inside a sleeve to protect it. The sleeve would in no way effect the operation of the cable unless it gets dirty inside. The little rubber boot seals of the end to prevent dirt from creating such a problem.
The adjustment is done by positioning the crimp on the cable in relation to the threaded metal "bobbin"(is that a creative name or is it really called that?).
You would adjust the bobbin toward the throttle spindle to create slack and away from the spindle to tighten. With my problem of shifting too late, I would want to adjust the bobbin away from the spindle to tighten.

Am I close?
