TV cable adjustments...help please

i messed with the TV cable on my 700-R4 today...put a little more tension on it to try to move the shift points up a little...well the 1-2 shift stayed the same but i managed to move the 2-3 up about 300 rpms...is the 1-2 not moving up because thats all the valve body can handle?...thanks guys

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. Any other changes after this are done inside the tranny.
