Re: TV CABLE????

if its jerking real hard thats the effect of not having the TV cable hooked up properly and it will eventually hurt your tranny. buy yourself a new TV cable and make sure its set right. heres a link to properly set your TV cable

Re: TV CABLE????

it wont help your acceleration time, but it will help your tranny live longer. if you want better acceleration time the best way is to get a posi rear with some good gears if you dont have any yet.
