TV Cable Delete?????
I got my hands on a 1996 slightly modded vette, with only 40K miles. The guy said it would shift, but you had to release the throttle to get it to shift. When I drove it, it seemed that way, but it also seemed to stay in first. When still and shifting into all gears, there's no jerk or clank of any kind. When I looked under the hood. I noticed that the Throttle Valve Cable isn't there. He said something about having it tuned and items deleted. Which goes back to the title. Can a TV cable be deleted? I got it great deal on it, and I don't mind dropping some coin on a new tranny. But Thank you in advance!

You guys are absolutely right. There is no TV cable. I also noticed there's no governor. It's going to cost to do a diagnostic here at GM. He said around $143. I already swapped the entire 2-4 band assembly. And the fluid twice. It was very dirty with very little dust like fine shavings
