Bad tv cable?

How can you tell if you have a bad tv cable? When ever I drive my car for around 30 minutes or so my tv cable either sticks or comes out of adjustment because after I drive it my shifts are harder and it doesn't shift till higher rpms, after it starts doing this I can come home and readjust my cable and it will shift fine, any ideas?

Re: Bad tv cable?

Have you checked the fluid level? Sounds like it may be low. A far as the cable goes, they don't really go bad unless the adjuster mechanism can't hold it's position. Is the button fully seated after adjustment?

Fluid levels fine and I guess the button stays seated, it's like this till I go out for a long drive
