color=#0000ff size=2>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.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

What is TV valve lifter rod?<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV id=RTEContent>Gentlemen,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No pictures or other mention of the TV valve anywhere that I can
find.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has this happened to anyone else? If so, any tips on correcting
it?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
