[Syty] What is TV valve lifter rod?

[Jim Sloan]

Hi Peter,
 
The TV cable goes into the transmission on the passenger side by the
dipstick.  If I remember right, there is a small bolt that holds it in
place.  You could remove the bolt, and pull the cable out of the
transmission a couple of inches to make sure it is still attached.  I
believe it is attached to the "tv valve lifter rod".    You can also have
someone move the throttle to make sure the cable is intact, while you are
watching the rod.  The exhaust may be in the way on some trucks.
 
Before you do any of that, re-adjust the tv cable according to the manual,
if you haven't already done so.
 
Jim

Gentlemen,
 
While working on the throttle body last night, I disconnected the TV cable.
When I reconnected and took a test drive, the shift points are delayed and
extremely hard.
 
Section 7A1-58 of the service manual says something about the "TV valve
lifter rod" dropping down to allow the TV exhaust ball to seat if the cable
is broken, disconnected, or extremely out of adjustment.  I think this is
what happened.
 
It then says if the transmission pan is removed, it should  be possible to
pull down on the TV exhaust valve lifter rod and let the springs return the
rod to its normal up position.
 
No pictures or other mention of the TV valve anywhere that I can find.
 
Has this happened to anyone else?  If so, any tips on correcting it?
 
Thanks,
 
Peter Albrecht
