Yes, you will need to raise your car to get to the tranny. The TV cable is attached to the tranny by 1 bolt. The TV cable to the tranny is located on the passenger side where the servo is located. Insure that when you replace it with a new one, that it has an O-ring. You may or may not have to lower the rear tranny to swap out the TV cable. Depends on how big your hand are. A good advice I can give is this, prior to removing the old TV cable, I would tie the bottom end of the new TV cable to the top end of the old cable. This way you can remove the old cable from underneath the car and at the same time you are snaking the new one in place. Hope this helps.

Yeah, thanks for the help. I realized that I would need to drop the tranny to put a new one on, (Which is crap BTW), so I found just the end peice of the TV cable, which I needed to replace, and swaped it with a new one. Saved SO MUCH TIME... thanks anyway..
