Got my car out of the shop (new tranny) and..

They said they installed a Corvette stall conv. but I can't tell any difference, ofcourse I haven't really gotten on it. The car is shifting REALLY late out of 1st, then shifts preety quick into 3, and then really late to 4th. I asked my mechanic where he set it at, and he said he set it to with a little more tension than stock.
Will it start shifting right as I drive it more?
Thanx

To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the 'D' shaped lock button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting (The black housing that the metal cable is in will move forward). 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 (putting maximum tension on the metal cable) and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable casing 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.
