Hey, Skysoldier, Did you get yours hammered down? Never got an update on the outcome.

Everything above is all good advice. The TV cable adjusts shift points and stiffness of shifts and the electronic part controls the torque convertor lockup. If it doesn't shift correctly or lock up (atomatically or manually), you will DESTROY that tranny. I know from experience. Very expensive lesson learned!! Now, i have a couple of these transmissions lying around for future projects. Get em cheap and rebuild them, then squirrel them away for other rides. I will never go with any other trans than a 700R4 in anything I build from now on.
