early shift

recently my car has been shifting into fourth when i'm only going about 30 (normal driving), or sometimes about 35 and i can't figure out why. when it does, the rpm's drop to like 1000. any ideas on what it could be? I have a 84 trans am 305HO with a 700-R4 tranny.

Look in the tech articals for the detent cable adjustment (TV cable). This sounds like it could be a cause. Its really easy to change.


Good luck, Hope this helps

the tech article is kind of confusing, is there an easier way to explain it? also, could it be the modulator valve?
