What happens if the TV cable is not adjusted?
THE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR WITHIN A FEW FEET OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE! The TV cable on the 700R4 and 200-4R transmissions controls line pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and detent (full throttle) downshifts. So if the TV cable is not adjusted properly, it can cause numerous transmission problems.
What’s the best way to adjust the TV cable?
Here’s the procedure for adjusting the TV cable: Depress and hold the metal reset tab. Move the slider back through the fitting, away from the throttle idler lever, until the slider stops against the fitting. Release the reset tab. Test drive.
