i have a 1990 rs camaro 3.1 v6, and i it wasnt shifting out of first at wot but was shifting smooth at partial throttle so i adjusted the TV cable the way the tech articles said to and that just made the car worse now its shifting hard and hesitant at part throttle and still wont **** at WOT i cant give you a rpm range because the gauge does not work. and i also when pulling the throttle while adjusting the tv cable i did no hear any clicks but it did move

 

anyone please i really need to get to the bottom of this asap this is my only car

 

Okay, for now you need to get back to your original adjustment, so you don't hurt the trans.
Then the next thing to check is the governor. This is easier if you pop the dizzy cap, then drop the rear of the transmission a couple of inches.

 

ok so how do i get it back to the original adjustment? i don have the things needed to drop the trans. but isnt a governor just to limit the top speed because i know a alot of cars that people just remove the governor. i dont know if this is related but my car also auto revs a little bit. but i dont know how to get the tv cable back to the original adjustment, do i move it little back or pull it a lil forwads

 

When you adjust the TV cable, you let the TB pull the cable out of it's sheath as it goes to WOT. To soften the shifts, pull it another 1/8" and try that.
Now, the governor: On a 700R-4, it has nothing to do with the top speed of the car. It's there to make the wOT upshifts happen. The weights and springs, against the line pressure of the ATF, determine the speeds at which the wOT upshifts happen. For an LG4, the HP peaks at 4000 rpm. For an L69, it's 4800. So how to make the difference? the governor.

 

thats how i adjusted it but that just made it worse as i stated before, but ill try and pull it out 1/8th later. as far as the governor how would i check that? and do i have to drop the tranny?

 

i pulled it out a little and that helped the part throttle shifts a little but still feels messed up. the WOT still does not shift. so does this mean governor? i have no way to check the Governor and dont know how either. would there be anything else that could cause it not to shift at WOT? please help and respond if you can thanks

 

any body? all i need to know is if theres anything else besides the tv cable or governor that could cause the problem and if not, where can i find a governor and about what would it cost to install i really need to know asap i dont want to keep driving the car the way it is thank you
