Hi,

Has anyone found a replacement TV cable at the parts stores? If so what part # was it? Anyone have a last known good GM part number for a TPI TV cable? How about the overall length of the same cable?

I've tried Autozone, Checker and Napa. None of them list a TV / Kickdown / Detent cable for an 88 Camaro or Firebird with a TPI 350. I've tried years older and newer to no avail. I even had a guy at Autozone try to tell me that my 700R4 has a VACUUM MODULATOR!!!

I've also tried GM parts direct, though their catalog is very counterintuitive. I'll try the dealer tomorrow.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

 

I don't have part numbers handy, but they're certainly available, either as original GM parts, aftermarket OEM-replacements, adjustable universal-fit ones from B&M and TCI, or more exotic solutions from Bowtie Overdrives or Lokar.

 

Weird I found them first try.

Those look like shifter cables. He needs a TV cable.

 

You are correct my mistake.

This is what you looking for.

tpiparts.net also has them in stock

 

Also if you dont mind used but still good contact TPIhearse. He had a few last i checked.

 

GM part# 25521263. List price $26.39, wholesale price $18.47. Fits '85-88 TPI engines with 700R4 transmission.

 

Id say go on ebay and buy one made by teckpak. I was much happier with their design than the design most parts stores carry. it has interlocking teeth to lock in your setting instead of a spring tension clamp like all the other designs.

 

i work at napa thats where i got mine. when i go in tomorrow ill get u a part #

 

i found one at a part store oreilleys in my town, cant remember how much but ya... found 1
