Really great video and Nice Truck !!! Thank you for taking time to make such a detailed video on TV cable position. Keep up the good work

@jeffsedlick2978 4 дня назад

I have to look at this cable now. When I give it extra gas and my rpms increase suddenly, it feels like the truck overrevs and stalls for a brief second or goes straight into overdrive. This video will get me started. Thank you sir.

@erikstrawn3885 Год назад

I swapped out my original transmission for a junkyard transmission a couple years ago and referred to your video. Just now I finished swapping the junkyard transmission out for the rebuilt original transmission and had to refer to your video again. I'm so glad you posted this!

@cockasorrus7475 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge brudda! Good tip on marking the position as well. I always thought you get the main setting by WOT then basically dial it in as you’ve mentioned. Great ride!! Take care!!

Thank you so much for your expertise! Went to carburated on my 5.7l crate engine with edelbrock perfomer dual plane intake and a 1406 carb. It does just what you're talking about with throttle pedal and shif point. I need to put a spring on mine because it shifts at different speeds depending on throttle position. Not wanting to burn up this transmission. Thanks

Awesome job bro. I wish that youtube was around back in the late 90's/early 2000's. I had a 91 Pontiac TA black with the gold honeycomb wheels that had a 700R4. It ran fine for a while and did at least a 20+foot long burnout. I had to get rid of it cause the trans was not shifting out of what felt like first or second? Got pulled over by a cop once when I first bought the car back when the trans was ok but still not going into OD. He was unmarked and on my ass when I was minding my own business..so I decided to hammer down..and he pulled me over saying that I was going over 100mph. I knew that was BS cause the car never really shifted right.

@mibars 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. I'm adjusting my cable in a 1990 Suburban and started with the book method of pushing the plastic end all the way in and allowing it to ratchet out at WOT and got mixed results: It now shifts better, but feels like bit too late and it struggles to stay in overdrive at around 60 mph. I've just loosened it about that much that you've shown and will see.

@Ruststored 4 года назад

Just found your video. Good job on explaining how the TV cable works. It’s backwards from how I would think it works. I’m using a TCI universal cable and the instructions suck.

Thank you...i knew this was where the speed transmission gear adjust was....but i didn't know which cable direction loose or tighter to get into 2nd gear quicker....which would be looser for me.

Thanks for the info. Well done video. My recent "ran when parked" purchase doesn't have third or fourth gear. My TV cable is way loose and has a micky mouse bracket someone made. I'll try adjustment, but I'm guessing it's too late for the trans.

@uw7659 3 года назад

@thrillbilly2474 3 года назад

Good video, only issue I could think of with the whole “shift at 20mph” is different vehicles have different gear ratios in axles

@resistorstudios 2 года назад

Thats because this is not the correct way to do this. Different 700r4s will have a different governor spring/weight combination that will yield varying shift points. The cable is there to maintain proper line pressure with proper throttle arc radius measured with a pressure gauge that screws into the side of the transmission. The only way to change shift points is change the springs and weights in the governor assembly.

@clydebethatway7485 Год назад

You should make a video on adjusting that transmission and those governors you’re talking about

@santanaman6783 10 месяцев назад

@collisnaylor839 4 года назад

@marcanthonysuazo 2 года назад

U could also tell by how hard or soft the shifts are between gears .. should be firm smooth shifts throughout.. make sure sufficient fluid aswell

@jimmoi8534 4 года назад

Thanks Bud ive only seen valve body kits or electronic conversions $$$$$

@americanelectric9666 4 года назад

My trans was late shifting (revving up before shifting from 1 to 2) I heard a new (TPS) Throttle Position Sensor could fix this problem. I almost paid $40 when i saw this video. I went to look at my TV Trans cable and found that it wasn't snapped into place at the Throttle body. IT WAS ONLY OFF BY LESS THAN A 1/4 INCH! And that caused all this bad shifting.

Awesome video🙌 very informative! 👍 I inherited my father's 70 Jaguar XKE with an LT1 and had a turbo 400 with a B&M shift kit, used to bark the tires when you hit second🤗 but then he swap that out and wanted it more streetable as you did and put a 700 R4, but now it shifts as if the tranny is slipping? I will try and adjust it.. hopefully that is the problem.🤞🤞 Thanks for the great video. 🙌👍🙌

Excellent How to and easy to understand. 1 question are you manually locking the torque converter as well ?

@govsux1 2 месяца назад

Just in case somebody needs to know... the TCC solenoid just needs 12v you can hook a switch up to manually do so but be aware if it's not going through the 4th gear solenoid in the trans it will stay in lock up when you stop.

Hey! Thanks for the video. I think i have my tv cable adjusted properly now in the Jeep... It shifts where i want it to, but the problem I'm having is that it won't downshift when i mash the pedal. Is this possibly a stuck valve in the governor? Or did i not adjust the tv cable properly? 🤔 Thanks! Great video!

@docsmallblock6584 2 года назад

How about if you're into the throttle, like if you're denting the floor board with your gas pedal, where should it shift then? P.S. I ran mine without the cable hooked up at all for like 3 or 4 months, wouldn't shift unless I let off the gas like a 4speed , but could shift it manually with no problem. Didn't hurt the trans at all?! It is a built r4 by Transco out of Florida, guess they do good work cuz it's still going up to a 406 with a little nitrous! I didn't know who did it till I seen a sticker on the trans that says "Transco". 6yrs now, still going strong!

@edwardojr2838 4 года назад

After your bulk adjustment, do u need to do a fine tune adjustment? My plastic slider is all the way in, does it need to be all the way out? How would I go about adjusting that part
