I think that he meant to push the cable release button and push the cable rearward a click at a time until you get what you're looking for. It's the little plastic thing with a metal button inside located by the throttle linkage.

I thought a shorter TV cable would lower and quicken the shift points. Anyway it only works for part throttle. For WOT shift point changes you need to change springs/weighs like with a TransGo shift kit.

You CAN do it, but DON'T.

The TV cable is not used to set the shift points. It should be set using the method in the book.

Changing weight/springs in the governor will set your shift points.

86 L98, auto trans. I find myself running in "D" while under 35 mph only because she shifts into OD around 30. Is there a way to have her not shift into OD untill about 40??? Appreciate it.

Thou will find himself up a creek without a paddle...I once saw a young lad shell out his 700r4 because he didn't know what he was doing messing with his shift pressures adjusting his tv cable

Do our homework and take it to a good 700r4 tranny shop if you want a hard hitter...
