I did want transfixleo says to do in order to adjust the TV cable but now under very low throttle my tranny doesnt shift until about 2500 RPM and shifts really hard, what could be wrong or what could i have done wrong. THANKS

 

anyone!!!,

actually, under very low throttle the engine revs to 3000 RPM, there is also alot of slack in my TV cable which i believe is causing the problem, anyone

 

Make sure you have it set exactly as I say to do. What were the minimum shift points before you set it? What was/is the WOT shift points? What was the reason you set it for?

 

right now WOT shifts are fine, its just when i put very low throttle the car will not shift until past 3000 RPMs. I think i know the problem, there is a lot of slack in my TV cable, so under very low throttle the cable is not even moving with the linkage. How do i get rid of this slack. There is that little black piece that the TV cable is connected to on the throttle linkage and the cable is sticking out the back of it, this has to be the problem.

I wanted to adjust the cable because my car shifted alittle early before (around 1500RPM) under low throttle and under high throttle it shifted too soft, and i figured, what the hell, im already working on my car, why not just adjust it when it is convenient.

 

Nope....I adjusted the black tube so that i would no longer have any slack in the cable, but it still shifts the same. It shifts at 3000 RPM also when i give it half throttle but it still shifts at 3000 RPM under the lowest throttle i can give it, like it is stuck in first until 3000+. Can anyone help

 

If there is slack then the failsafe checkball is probably kicking in causing late shift but I would expect it to act as if it were at WOT all the time. There should not be much in the line of slack if you followed my procedure. Not that it will be tight but not loose.

 

The shift points are all the same, WOT, part throttle, light throttle....it is constantly shifting at about 2700-3000 RPM. Before this, the car would shift above 4000 at WOT. I dont understand what is wrong, what else could be the problem. How can i get the slack out of the line and how can i fix this. THANKS

 

Also, when i tried to adjust the cable the first time, i must not have read the direction right and when i had someone floor the pedal, pressed the D button and actually pulled on the cable itself and not the black tube, could this have been the problem?
