Hi, I'm a new member/CTD owner. It's a 95 quadcab LB auto 100k.
The problem began with the torque converter going in and out of lockup on the highway. I took the truck where the dealer sent me and he adjusted the tv cable. This seemed to solve the problem but it came back. Now it's out of warranty so I will be doing all repairs. I purchased a Hayne manual as I do with any vehicle and it says to set the cable so that the throttle valve on the transmission is at full travel when throttle is wide open and when the throttle is at idle the tv is at the beginning of its travel. Come to find out the tv is only halfway back at WOT (no wonder it was shifting so soon). Also the button on the cable by the throttle won't push in to let me adjust it there, so I bent the bracket holding the cable on transmission (this is how the shop did it). Now it seems to shift okay except for WOT where it will stay in third til 65-70 (2750+ rpm) where it will hardly accelerate then suddenly starts popping in and out of O/D. I could probably readjust the bracket so the transmission gets less throttle signal, but then will the transmission be in danger because the clutch pressure is low? Is the Hayne correct or should I just set it where it works best? If the Hayne is correct what is wrong?
