Fig. 1, TV cable and linkage
Fig. 2, Throttle lever & bracket assembly
The TV cable should not be thought of as an automatic downshift cable. It controls line pressures, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and
detent downshifts. The function of the cable is similar to the combined functions of a vacuum modulator and detent downshift cable. The TV cable
operates throttle lever and bracket assembly, Figs. 1 and 2.
