Tranny FUBAR?

Hey guys, I've messed around with my TV cable a bunch trying to resolve this problem but im at the end of my wits.

Lately my car has developed a resentment to shift at WOT. It will run right up to my rev limiter (6k RPMs) and wont shift until you let off. Also, when youre on the highway it sometimes has issues going into OD. Also, if you jump on it on the highway it will kick down to second gear and redline, and wont go into 3rd until you let off.

At part throttle the trans shifts real nice and firm... chirps into second.

Any ideas?

Did I glaze the clutches? Something FUBAR in the valvebody?

there is only one spot that the tv cable should be in to properly adjust it. the best way to find that spot is go to a shop and have them hook up a pressure gauge to the port on the trans and then adjust it.

I dont think the TV cable is the problem, I have it adjusted correctly and have had others look at it as well, the trans just wont shift at WOT.
