i went and bought the seal that goes between the TV cable and the trans case but I can't figure out how it goes on. I tried top push it onto the plastic unit that actually bolts to the trans but it won't go. Am I doing this right? IF not, what do I do-exactly? Does the seal go on with the rubber side up or down? TIA

 

You have to disconnect the cable up top so that you can disconnect it at the bottom. Then you can take the old seal out of the pocket in the case and pop in the new one. Repeat the steps to reattach. Then: To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the 'D' shaped lock 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.

 

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN. PUT THE SEAL IN THE TRANS BUT BE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOUR OLD ONE IS COMPLETELY REMOVED SHOVE THE NEW ONE IN THE HOLE, GREASE THE HOLE HOOK UP THE CABLE END TO THE BENT WIRE AN PUSH AND WIGGLE IT IN.
