Steering Cable Adjustment ?

I have quite a bit of slack in my twin cable steering system when setting up the backlash for the autopilot it reads around 35 degrees play before any steering action , so the pilot is constantly trying to compensate . This seems excessive to me ,is there a way to adjust this slack out of the steering system or cables ?
