I posted this in the transmission board but didnt get one reply in 4 days, so Im hoping you guys can help me out, its kind of relevant here too.


How hard is it to install a TV Cable, I havent looked under the car yet. I am switching my stock cable for the LT1 cable, stock one is to long with LT1 intake and under normal acceleration I hit 2nd gear only after rolling about 5 ft.

But anyway, Does it require any special tools or procedures or is it simple. From what Im told that fact that its an LT1 cable makes no difference on the install, So this is just an general TV cable install question.

How much shorter is the LT1 cable vs the stock one?

 

It's easy, don't even need to drop the trans pan to do it. Follow the TV cable to the trans body, unbolt the cable retainer, and as you gently pull the cable up you'll see where it connects to the trans linkage.

 

so what holds the cable to the retainer? If I let go of it will it slip back into the tranny or something, there isnt to much room to work in there between the tranny and floor board. Looks and sounds easy enough.

 

Just gently hold it with needlenose pliers or your fingers.
