TV cable adjustment damage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I got a rebuilt 700R4 from a performance transmission builder and am having some problems. Reverse is good, first gear is good, 1-2 shift is good, second gear is good, but third gear doesn't pull. The TV cable is adjusted per the instructions on the Bowtie Overdrive site. Push the housing all in, wide open throttle and 3/8 to 1/2 slack at the carb. The builder is trying to say the problem is TV cable adjustment has damaged the tranmission. There has never been a 1-2 problem. What could the problem be and how can I know the builder isn't trying to charge me for waurranty work?

I appreciate any feedback, thanks.
