Just picked up a 92 C1500 that supossedly had a 4.3 swapped to 5.7L. I cant read the engine number without taring a lot off. Transmiision will only shift if Im driving like a race car, 3500 RPM ish and hard into it. Read a lot about the TV cable being the issue. I've done the adjustment a few times and exactly the same. Apparently I should have fried the tranny by now but its still doing the same. Going to order a new cable and see what happens. Do I get one for the v6 or v8 or are they the same actually?

The cable on it seems lose. Looks like it might have taken some abuse when whoever did the swap. Looks like a kink someone straightened out also near the end.

It moves back and forth fine, I think. Is there a different in v6 and v8 cable? I get all the same parts when I look up both.

Thanks for the link, I'm going to try and pick this up for my 91 5.7 700r4. Hoping it fixes the delayed shifts under heavy throttle. Maybe even allow me to back up a hill in reverse without slipping? Fluid is red appears semi clean just never opened a tranny up before lol.
