more detent cable questions

700r4

Okay I want firmer shifts but when I move it back, it shifts too late. 3000 from 1st to 2nd not flored. I want firmer shifts and have it shift soon enough so that I can use my ratchet shifter to controll it. Any ideas?

Everyday, I look at my Trans/Am, and it makes me sad to see its current state of disrepair. I don't even know how long it has been.
When I bought the Nissan, I assumed it was my daily driver, not my exclusive driver.



It is a 355 82 trans am. My mods are here, my 82 T/A

tv cable adjustment:

To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the D button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal still floored, press the D button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.

This is how transfixleo has us do it to get the correct adjustment.
