While I was topping off some fluids today I decided that I would check the TV cable while I was there. In the past few weeks I have noticed it is a bit delayed in shifting to OD and shifts kind of hard. So I took some pictures of it, it seemed to have a lot of slack in it compared to the throttle cable. So I am thinking I need to adjust/tighten it up, would yall agree from the pictures below?

Thanks

TV cable comes in at the rear of the throttle body. That cable is for the cruise control.

 

Thanks for the quick reply zman, I actually had printed that out yesterday. The cable I have my finger on is the one that will be tighted/loosed correct or will it be the one behind the adjustment mechanism?

 

You have to remove the air intake for better access. Hey You is right about the cable in your pic, I was just posting info on your thread topic.

 

The tv cable has nothing to do with o/d.

 

How right you are.
