I read through several articles on adjusting the TV cable, one a good article from gnttype.org, and was trying to adjust it. Press in the D-shaped tab, pull TV cable towards firewall, then get in car with floor-mat removed and push the pedal to WOT until it clicks in place. This is supposedly the "GM approved setting". However, it seemed to me the car was late to shift into third on hard acceleration.
I tried readjusting it one "click" closer to the firewall from the "GM approved setting" and it was shifting too hard, building up too much RPM before shifting into second, third and even was reluctant to go into overdrive. After a firm jab on the pedal, I heard it "click" and the car was back to shifting more normally for cruising mode, but again not firm enough between 2nd and 3rd.
I read that a worn TV cable or bracket would allow the cable adjuster end to slip, and only return to the GM approved position, but I want the car to have the strong shift into 3rd that it had before working on the intake and adding an AXiS translator box & chip this summer. Just one notch back from this position should work.
Aside from replacing the TV cable assembly, are there any tips for getting this adjusted to a position that's optimal for shifting under WOT acceleration?
