Default 700r4 in out and back in.

I got my Vette on the road with the 700r4 and quickly found it slipping in 3rd and 4th. I adjusted the TV cable as the TCI instructions said. Then I called Mad Dog for some help. The tech had me make sure the cable jacket was all the way back in the bracket and at full throttle the cable pulled full tight. This adjustment was more cable than the TCI instructions. So...3rd and 4th clutches burned quickly. Mad dog honored the warranty. I pulled the Trans and sent it to them. The went trough the it again and when I re install it and adjusted the TV cable as the tech instructed. Works great and shifts strong when the power it put to it. I can't say more about the people at Mad Dog. Honored the warranty and provided a quick turn around. They also provided a 2800 stall converter at no charge. I really like the way it performs.
