A while back you had a post about your car not shifting into third at full throttle. You said something about a kink in your tv cable. I am having that problem now and noticed a kink in the cable. What did you do about it? Did you buy a new one? If so how hard was it to install? And finally, did it fix the problem?
Thanks for any help as I am getting a little frustrated with my car shifting so late.

I am not MR J but as for replacing the TV Cable it isn't a big job. First, disconnect the cable up top. Next, with the car in the air, take the 10 MM bolt out the hold the cable housing in place and pull it up. Lastly, you will have to unhook the cable from the link at the bottom. Reverse the procedures going in with the new one and then set the cable: 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 still 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.
