OK! after farting around with the thing...... i got it adjusted...
with the throttle at idle position the t v cable should have about an 1/8th inch of play.... no more...... now twist the throttle lever.... you should hear the linkage engage in the tranny around 1/2 to 2/3rds throttle...... then take er for a spin n check it out........ i did n this worked good for me........:rockon:

To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the D button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. 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 and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable 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.

This is how transfixleo has us do it to get the correct adjustment.

 

thats the way i did it durring my attemps..... it was incorrect..... if you have to much tension on the cable it will engage prematurely...... thus you wind up too much b4 shifting..... i wont say my way will work for everyone but it worked for me.... n if ne one wants to try it it might work for them as well... or mabe not.. its worth a try........... i did it just as you... had my girlfriend hold the pedal to floor... i released the button jammed that baby towards the firewall n released the button..it was wot... and all engaged together..... but givin a test drive it was keeping it in kick down cause it was engaging even at low throttle level movement..... therefore i did it the way igot it to work proprerly........shifts up smooth.. n kicks down when you stomp it........thanks for the input tho....... both methods are good ones.......just different for different problems of the same thing.... woa.... did that make sense..lol
