First disconnect the cable at the throttle body. Now pop the casing out of the bracket. Put the car safely on stands and take the 10 MM bolt out that holds the cable into the tranny and with a catch can under the tranny pull the cable up out of the tranny. After the oil gushes out, disconnect the actual cable from the link inside of the tranny. Reverse the procedures to reinstall.
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 (The black housing that the metal cable is in will move forward). 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 (putting maximum tension on the metal cable) and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable casing 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.
