Just put a new tranny in my car with a B&M shift kit that i instaled i broke the tv cable wile instaling so i just left it out ... well my car will not shift until red line and sometimes going in to 3rd or 4th mabey it will slip like going into nuetral ..... do u think having no tv cable could be the problem? and can i use a tv cable off a tbi car if it will reach? thaks

 

yes that is most likely the cause. the tvcable tells the tranny how par the throttle is opened and when the governor pressure exceeds the the tv pressure it shifts. with no tv cable the tranny doesnt know whats up. and no you cant use a tbi tv cable it wont reach youll need to get a tpi tv cable they are like 50 or so from gm.

 

Why on earth would you just toss this aside and think "oh I don't need this". x 10,000. This makes me wonder if you had the know how in the first place to install a shift kit and transmission, why the heck you would disregard the TV cable. For your sake, you should check your work twice over and make sure you didn't screw anything else up, you COULD have screwed something up internally and that is also contributing to your no shift problem.

But, with that aside, YES! Get that cable back on there before you grenade your freaking transmission!

 

No TV cable = a good way to cook a tranny and be walking home...
