Re: TV Cable Issue

There is a little metal tab on the inside of the TV cable just past where it locks into your TBI bracket. Push it in and slide it forward, its only going to take little movements, you can just drive down a road and notice when the sifts happen pull over and adjust it a little at a time till you get it right.

Um, no. Read the article that goes along with the pic you posted. That's the correct way.

Re: TV Cable Issue

Works on any 700R4 or 200-4R, regardless of induction style.

Re: TV Cable Issue

I'm having an issue with the TV cable. The car wasn't downshifting properly and when i tried adjusting it I pushed the cable all the way in and when i rotate the throttle all the way forward the cable doesn't adjust out. any ideas?? dont mean to hijack the thread just figured it was a good place for the question...

Re: TV Cable Issue

You can just pull it back out if its nots pulling out its self some times one or two notches is al lit take to make the difference, I would recomemend that after you get it adjusted you mark it some how so if you have to move it later you can get it right back
