TV cable adjustment

[imjoesnuffy]

New to the GN scene. Just looking for a link to adjust the tv cable. If no link could someone tell me? TIA

At wot you want the tv cable pulled all the way out. Open the throttle with one hand then see if the tv cable has any more to go with the other hand.
If you find any slack, press the button on the side of the cable mount and pull toward the firewall.

Adjustment Procedure
On the driver's side of the intake plenum is a bracket holding 2 or 3 cables:the Accelerator cable, T.V. cable, and if you have Cruise, the cruise controlcable. The T.V. cable has "ridges" on the cable housing and routes behind and down the engine to the passenger side of the transmission. Note the metal Brass colored, "D-shaped" tab in the center of the bracket, this is the readjustment tab. Take note of the T.V. cable position (number of exposed ridges). With the engine off, depress and hold in the readjustment tab. Pull the cable housing towards the firewall 3 or 4 clicks and release the readjustment tab. While you watch the cable housing travel, have someone push the accelerator pedal to WOT. (Yes you can rotate the throttle lever by hand but by using someone's foot you are duplicating the actual throttle movement achieved while driving the car.) The cable housing will "ratchet" forward towards the radiator. This is the "GM recommended" setting. If your T.V. cable was out of adjustment, the number of exposed ridges will have changed.As a benefit to those desiring firmer shifts, you can attain higher shift points by moving the T.V. cable back towards the firewall one more "click". Try this and see if the cable housing will not ratchet back out when you press the accelerator to WOT. A worn out cable housing or adjustment mechanism may only let you go to the "GM recommended" setting. You should also know that by delaying shifts on a transmission whose clutches are already "shot", this will accelerate the deterioration of the transmission.

Thank you, this information was very helpful.
Question however, if I need to let off to make it shift into 3rd, does that mean I let it come forward towards the radiator too far?
