Help! Fresh trans install, but cant find a tv cable! Tpi/700r4
Need help, recently was on the freeway went to pass a line of cars before my exit, but when my car hit overdrive, the servo blew completely out tbe side of the case, so we pulled it out bought a used one and rebuilt it using the opportunity to add a shiftkit and corvette servo, hardened sunshell, and a few other bits, put it back together and burnt it up twice before finding the tv cable to be frayed inside the casing, causing the valve to stick, just finished rebuilding again (3rd time) and cant find anywhere that has a tv cable for my car, 91 rs with 350 tpi and 700r4 trans, any help would be appreciated!

Get the right one for whatever year TPI setup you have. Don't worry about whatever sheet metal you wrapped it in. 
Leave that totally out of consideration. Even if it's some 1934 Hupmobile or something, instead of a 91 RS... doesn't matter.

Can't find one at Rockauto, Classic Industries, Hawk's or really anywhere. Summit suggests TCI's universal https://www.summitracing.com/int/par...6800/overview/.

As far as a TV cable, I looked on RockAuto for the '90 - '92 MY and nothing. For S&G I looked at the '89 MY and there are two cables listed. The ATP Y311 and the ATP Y752. I don't know if they are close enough to use, both are somewhat adjustable. Not sure if an '89 TPI TV cable is different from the '90 - '92 MY cables.
