so on my way home from work today my transmission was working like it was in 2nd while in drive and then it would all of a sudden shift fairly hard. i know i need to change the fluid in it, could this be caused by dirty/old trany fluid? im hoping i dont have to get it fixed yet cuz thats expensive. let me know please!!

 

Which trans do you have, if it's a 700r4, the T.V. Cable may be out of adjustment.

 

to be honest i dont know lol. whats in a 1990 Z71? but i just thought, could it be the torque converter?

 

and actually, my gas peddle did get stiffer i noticed. would the TV cable have something to do with that?

 

Yes, the T.V. cable can do that. Do you have a 4-speed trans?

 

well i went out and looked at it and came to the conclusion thats its a 4L60. also talked to my neighbor who is a mechanic and said that changing the fluid would be a start. so im going to change the fluid and see what happens. ill keep you posted.

 

Thats a 700r4. I would suggest flushing it.

 

How do you adjust the t.v. cable?

 

i havent really looked at it yet. but i need to figure that out.

 

so i havent had a chance to look at the cable yet or to look how to adjust it. does anyone know how to adjust it? its been shifting lately but its not fixed. it doesnt kick down into lower RPM's like it used to.
