93Z Tranny/TV cable question. Maybe related to 52mm throttle Body
93Z with new tranny. problems listed below.
Okay, the tranny is new 4 months old. I've been having problems with it shifting early, late, not down shifting right, not going full throttle ext. and I have found it to be the TV cable causing this. The car drives great with the cable all the way in (twords firewall) but the problem is once you push gas pedal to 100% Throttle, (where the cable self detents) past I'd say 75-80% throttle, it goes a few clicks to the front and screws it all up again. (ie. quick shifts, feels like it's slipping, no 4-3 downshift. It's obvious it's the Cable ratcheting out too far. It's fine if I don't go full throttle. I've changed the TV cable and the throttle cable with no improvement.
The only thing else I can see is that the Throttle body is not the stock one. It's a 52mm TB. Is the linkage attached to the TB not quite right and causing the problem?? I bought the car with this TB and am not sure if is the correct one. Is there is a difference between 93 and 94 & up?? Any Ideas on what else it could be causing this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
