Default Changing TV Cable

Looks like my TV cable is too short. The BB in the 78 really pulls every last bit of slack out of the cable to reach the TV bracket. Can I replace the cable without dropping the tranny pan (don't see how)?

I'm assumning the TV cable used on BBC to the TH350 were a little longer than waht was used on the SB?

Don't think you could ever get a BB with a TH350. Longer cables are available, try one for an inline 6-cyl.

You can replace the cable in a 700r not sure about the turbo 350 without dropping the pan . Lokar makes a replacement cable that will do the job .

wasn't worded right...The 350 was in the 78......they just used it when they did the BB swap.

I just replaced mine and didn't see anyway to do it without dropping the pan. And the replacement I got is too long so check that before you put the pan back on.
