Adjusted TV cable,now its totally off

Ok,tranny was shifting fine but i was in the tech section and adjusted it like i thought it said.Basically i pushed in the D looking button and opened the throttle all the way out.This causes the middle to pop all the way out.Well i took it for a spin and it shifts very slow into all gears and will not downshift from O/D.Then i pushed it all the way back in like i thought it was originally.THis caused it not to shift until 2500 RPM in the first two gears.Anyway i am totally confused and totally mad at myself for messing with something that wasnt broke to begin with.Any help very much appreciated.THanks,chris.

try this...

GM 700R4 Throttle Valve Cable Adjustment
1. Remove air cleaner on vehicles with carb or TBI.

2. Depress lock tab down on TV cable and push cable all the way forward towards carb or injector.

3. Have someone sit in vehicle and depress gas pedal to the floor so it's at WOT (Wide Open Throttle). Hold it there for steps 4 and 5.

4. Now check to make sure the carb arm is bottomed out or has no more movement. If not, use a pair of Channel Locks to bend TV cable bracket until carb or injector arm no longer rotates.

5. Next, depress lock tap down and pull TV cable back (Pull HARD!) towards firewall or away from carb or injector until it stops and then release the tab.

6. Use a pocket knife or hacksaw blade to mark the cable in front of the snout. This is MAX TV.

7. After marking Max. TV depress lock tab and push cable forward toward carb or injector 1/8'' of an inch. Make a mark in front of snout. This is Minimum TV.

8. Set cable back to Max. TV and Road Test.





Road Test: Super Important
First thing to check on road test is for Detent. Here's how- Make a very light throttle or minimum throttle 1-2 upshift. As soon as it shifts, floor the throttle. The transmission MUST shift back to 1st gear. If it doesn't you need more T.V.

Note
Most Diesels and V8's will work best at Max. TV to 2 clicks away. 4 cyl and V6's will work best at 2 to 4 clicks away from Max.
