SyTy Tech – TV Cable Adjustment

The TV (throttle valve) cable on the 700R4 (and 200-4R) transmissions help control line pressure, shift points, part throttle downshifts, and detent (WOT) downshifts. So if the TV cable is not adjusted properly or if it has become stretched, it can cause odd shift patterns or other transmission problems.
