It controls everything inside the transmission, not just downshifting.

Whatever you do, don't drive it until you get it fixed. A bad TV cable adjustment will blow your transmission in less than 500 miles, easy.
I changed from the factory quadrajet to an edelbrock, the tranny is the original 350 with a lock up torque converter. I assume it has something to do with vacuum but i am not sure. Thanks
