call me a nooby!

Do you use the tv cable with a 5 speed manual? And just to be sure is it the cable that runs up front to a little black canister deal. Heres a pic of the canister.

What you have pictured is the cruise control. But, no - you do not use a TV cable with a manual tranny.

yeah i think that is what its for also. TV cable I believe is for automatic transmissons so when you get on it the trans will shift down a gear.

Thats the cruise control actuator indeed, A TV cable is located between the TV and the cable box you silly goose. Not sure how or why all these GM's run a TV cable from the car to the living room
