On a 95 D1 with auto transmission is the shifting (both up and down) activated by purely mechanical means or is it a combination of mechanical and vacuum or electronic or what?

The reason I ask is that I recently repaired a cracked vacuum hose that had to do with my cruise control and since then my transmission seems to be shifting smoother and kicking down easier. Just my imagination?

Thanks!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I know the D1's never where electronically controlled, whereas the D2's are. Not to sure though whether the D1's are mechanically controlled or vacuum controlled, I only assume mechanically controlled !!

Mechanical via the kickdown cable that attaches between the throttle and transmission valve body. This broke on mine and it no longer would downshift when I gave it gas
