My 1992 camaro with a 700 tranny shifts hard into 2nd gear at 1500rpm. All other gears shift okay. Tranny was rebuilt before I bought car and guy told me it was okay for the tranny to shift hard into 2nd gear. Could it be the T.V. cable? What else?

 

It all depends on how the tranny was built. If it is more or less stock and it is the original tranny it could be a simple broken acum spring. Or the guy might have modified the tranny in some way too. Here is what to do for TV: To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the D button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal floored, press the D button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.
