What trans is it and why the quick shift

update yet?

Sorry for the late update, I actually fell off a 5 gallon bucket trying to adjust the TV cable and sprained the heck out of my ankle.

Anyways, I did get it adjusted per the GM directions and everything is working like it should now. Shifts into 2nd gear at just onder 20mph if I ease into it. will hold 1st gear until near redline if I put it to the mat. Also, it will not shift into 4th gear while running 30-35mph around town like it was before, heck, didn't even think that was a problem until I adjusted the cable. Truck seems to be a ton less sluggish as well.

Thanks everyone for the help!!

Regards,
Darren

awesome glad the cable fixed it. Was gonna say the newer 4l60e's have a quick shift to em, but then realized your truck was older heh. My car does it and it drives me nuts. supposedly they came from the factory like that. Makes no sense to me tho.

I have a question on this old thread. When I'm looking at the TV cable housing and when I operate the throttle back and for should the TV "adjuster" move in and out of the TV housing? Because mine doesn't. The "adjuster" is all the way back in the housing and it stays there when I operate the Throttle back and forth.

You need to disengage the lock next to it.

So the "adjuster" should stay in the housing while I operate the throttle back and forth while the lock is engaged?

Yes, it should. If your standing in front of it, there is a lock to the right of it. When that is off, it will move. other than that, it won't.

Good because mine will not move when locked. So that part is working properly.

What's the chances this 1989 all original with 189,000 mile having a stretched TV cable? It's not shifting and when it does it slams into gear

The throttle valve itself is either stuck, or there's an issue with the governor. How's the fluid level/condition?

I checked the fluid level and it's good. I drained and replaced fluid about a year ago. Still looks new.
