How would incorrect adjustment of the throttle cable affect transmission operation?

When the throttle valve cable is out of specification, the transmission can shift early, shift late or not shift at all. Before the throttle valve cable can be adjusted, the transmission must be in good working order. Warning: Improperly adjusting the throttle valve cable can cause extensive damage to the transmission.

How do I adjust my 47RE pressure?

Is a TV cable the same as a kickdown cable?

“Kickdown” and “TV” cables aren’t really the same thing. Let’s take it from the top: Many old-school automatic transmissions use both a governor and a vacuum modulator to help regulate automatic shift timing. The governor works off of vehicle speed and engine rpm.

It can breath new life into old transmissions with sagging pressure regulator springs, or provide extra clutch and band apply pressure in hard-working units. Raising line pressure is typically done by using a stronger pressure regulator spring, installing a larger boost valve or doing both.

How do I increase the pressure on my 48re?

Registered. On my ATS transmission you turn the valve body adjustment screw (there are 2 of them) one full turn counterclockwise to achieve about 10psi increase of pressure. By increasing pressure you may cause the transmission to shift sooner into each gear. That is where the second adjustment screw comes into play.

What does a kickdown cable do on transmission?

One component that helps both drive systems communicate is the kickdown cable. This device helps the engine relay information on revolutions per minute (RPM) to the automatic transmission and essentially tells it that it’s time to shift gears.
