Default Tv Cable Ajust

Hey all,bought this one amost a year ago.Previous owner said she had the auto changed at 50k,now it has 100k on the clock.
The tranny always felt like it was never shifting exactly right.but never owning a Corvette,before I figured that's just the way it is,and that at another 50k,it's getting sloppy and ready for another POS 700 tranny.
Well ,I happen to see a thread by Pete K about adjusting the TV cable.
I did this simple adjustment,and I think I just got a new tranny for 1 minute of work,what a difference.It wouldn't suprise me a bit if someone has been told by many a tranny shop that they need a replacement,and charge them 2G's for nothing! My guess,is that it never was ajusted properly when the tranny was replaced.
Thanks Pete.

There's nothing like having proper line pressure to get you A4 to behave better.

If you want to feel a real difference on the WOT shifts install a TransGo shift kit...

Glad you caught it. I adjust my own tv cable every time I change the oil.
