93Z with new tranny. problems listed below. This is sorta a drivetrain issue, but it really involves the linkages attached to the TB on the engine. The drivetrain techs seem to be dead.

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 an aftermarket 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? I'm sure there's others with an aftermarket TB on 93's.

Sorry 4 the long thread. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been battling this prob for awhile and am stumped.

 

No one has any ideas??

 

yes, tb is different, 93's have our own.

My cable doesnt attach all the way on, the cruise control cable that is, so i have no clue myself.

 

You havent tried readjustings your have you? You may be better posting this in the thrid gen section or thirdgen.org actually, because the TPI cars have the same set up as our 93s far as TB goes.

 

who? Me?
