Look closely at the black clip that slides on to the TB lever.

Zman17. I adjusted it and got it dead on. Now OD will hold with no problems what so ever. It is wet outside, but I don't think that would make a difference in the OD not slipping out of gear anymore. Thanks!

The only other issue I have is when driving normal my rpm gauge has to hit 2,200 rpm just to get it to shift to 2nd. It then has to hit 2,200 just to get into third. Sometimes I have to take my foot off the gas pedal so it will engage to 3rd when driving through town. Does my TV cable need to be adjusted some more?

Could be, but move it no more than 1/8" from where it is now. The trans is convinced that you've got more throttle opening than you actually have -- keep that in mind as you adjust.

See this is where I'm confused. Do I pull it towards me to make it shift at a lower rpm or do I pull it away? I'm confused by that post zman17 gave me with the pictures. If you could clear that up that would be great! Thanks!

Oops, just noticed that you'd already been given a link to that PDF. You want to move the end of the cable so it's a little closer to the radiator to lower the shift point.

Okay. I'm so scared to even play with it lol. Should I just get a small screw driver and move it one notch at a time? I don't want to mess it up again lol!

Yep, move it a notch, take it for a drive. Move it another, take it for a drive, etc. When you have it perfect. Stop moving it.
