TV cable adjustment, sound like it's way way off!

Sounds like your mechanic buddy doesn't know what he's doing.

Did he put all of the 96 solenoids into the 98 transmission?

Someone told me the 98s are diferent and might not work would it still matter

Second vote for TV Cable adjustment.

An AW4 is an AW4 is an AW4. A bad solenoid will only affect two gears.

Throttle valve cable is what controls shift points.

If his "mechanic" doesnt know how to adjust a TV cable, I highly doubt hes intelligent enough to swap solenoids during a trans swap....

Would that also be called the valve body

The solenoids are located on the valve body. The throttle valve cable runs from the throttle body to the transmission. You can search the forums here and someone has a write up for correctly adjusting it.

Pretty simple, just under the hood, dont even have to get under it.

I agree. Except the TCM is different in the late models. Tho, I'm not sure which year it changed.

Are all AW4's '91-2001 the same? I found one for sale, but it's saying that it only works for '94-'96.

I don't mean to hijack a thread but thought it would be stupid to start one for a related item...anyone know where to get the tv cable?

I saw some on ebay.
