It seems that any time i get on the throttle hard, or whip a cat, anything like that, I lose my tv setting and have to reset it. Any suggestions?? I have a shift kit and just got a 3.42 posi. Any chance that i just need a new tv cable, and if so, how much is it and how hard is it to do??

The cable costs $40 in jegs. How hard it is to install I don't know?

But is this what i need?? Will this fix the problem of it always slipping???

 

It sounds like you are trying to set ti too tight and it readjusts when you floor it. Follow this procedure: 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.

Now with it set correctly try it again. If it still doesn't hold replace the cable with one from the dealer- I have seen aftermarket cables that did not work correctly.
