Do you need TV cable on TH350?

See all 8 photos Other than the convenience of automatic downshifts into passing gear at highway speeds, there's no real need for a simple kickdown cable on those transmissions like this TH350 that have a vacuum modulator. "Kickdown" and "TV" cables aren't really the same thing.

Can you drive without kickdown cable?

Shouldn't be a problem. The cable adjusts system pressure, so shift pressure. With the cable fully retracted it will shift lazy/slip a lot, if the cable was pulled fully out it will shift more firmly, less slip.

Can you run a 700r4 without a TV cable?

There are no TV cable, mechanical speedometer drive, or governor provisions. ... To run a 700-R4 trans behind a carbureted engine without a computer, at the very least the TV cable must be hooked up to the carburetor and properly adjusted.

What does a transmission TV cable do?

It controls line pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and full throttle down- shifts. If the TV cable is not adjusted properly, it will cause numerous transmission problems. The TV cable is connected to and operates the throttle lever on the transmission valve body.

Do you have to hook up the kickdown cable TH350?

Premium Member. The kickdown is just a way to downshift with your foot (what we used to call, "passing gear"). If it's not hooked up, you just manually downshift.

What does the vacuum modulator on a Turbo 350 do?

The vacuum modulator is a vital component of automatic transmissions. It tells the transmission what kind of load is being put on it, allowing the transmission to react with the proper line pressures and shift points.

What does kick down linkage do?

The transmission kick down cable works to shift the transmission to a higher gear automatically when the engine is revved or otherwise accelerated. A kick down cable comes installed standard on any vehicle, but there are also a variety of aftermarket kick down cables that can be purchased as well.

Does a 700R4 use a TV cable?

The TV cable on the 700R4 and 200-4R transmissions controls line pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and detent (full throttle) downshifts. ... The TV cable is connected to and operates the throttle lever, and bracket assembly mounted on the valve body.

Is a 700R4 transmission electronic?

Although the 700R4 is not an "electronically" controlled transmission, this feature was controlled by a PCM. We offer a lock up kit under Part # 23-700R which can be used with carbureted engines or applications outside of the GM engine family.

Which is better 700R4 or 4L60E?

If the transmission has a large 18-pin electronic connector above the passenger side pan rail, it's a 4L60E, as seen here. If it has a cable connection near the cooler lines on the passenger's side, that's a 700R4. The good news is that either way, you win.

How do I make 700R4 shift later?

If the transmission shifts late, pull over, pop the hood, and grab the cable adjuster with your left hand so it stays in place. When you press the cable adjuster release button, pull the cable adjuster forward a few clicks. This will cause the transmission to shift earlier.
