Dumb question

I just purchased a new 700r4 and the tv cable wasn't adjusted right... i took it around the block 4 times and attempted to do a burnout and failed. I was just wondering if i could have damaged the tranny at all from driving it without the right adjustment? The top speed i went was 30 at most.

Thanks

Re: Dumb question

Go to the

tvmadeez

site. Read it & watch the animation of how a TV cable and internals work.
It will tell how to adjust it.

Very informative as well as educational. It helps!!
