I figured out how to release the tv cable but I don't know what I'm supposed to adjust it.

Do I adjust it the same way I would adjust the tv cable on the aw4 trans?

With engine off, I pop off the white clip and turn the throttle until full wide open and lock the cable with white clip? Or is there any specific way to do it?

YW..

How did this work for you? I'v tried to adjust mine no less than 50 friggin times since swapping in an intake and cant seem to get it right. Shifting early into 3rd..

Checked and made sure the return spring is still on, but cant verify that there's no movement on the arm at trans till the slack at throttlebody is removed (working alone).

I'm considering swapping in an early style push button TV cable.

All four oxygen sensors were bad and had a misfire on cylinder 3.

Did some research and found that it's often just a fuse for oxygen sensors, so I checked, good enough, it were blown out, replaced that and now engine running smoother and trans shifting much better. ( I also adjusted the tv cable just in case too)

If u ever do the swap, do let me know. I probably would be interested in doing that as well. I hate the white plastic clip already.

Wonder why an 02 fuse would make the trans shift differently..

Tried another few adjustments.. no go. I'm about all the way out away from the TB with the cable, guess i'll start back the other way.
