Start here: 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.

 

Mine jerks to...

start her up in the morning ...put her in drive...

jerks bad enough to whip you back in the seat...

while the brake is still applied.

 

Wrong TV settings, wrong induction system for that tranny (carb changes, etc.) too high of idle speed, mount problems, worn out diff, etc.
