Quick question about my cable modulated 700r4
I haven't tried full automatic shifting at the track yet but on the street, I barely tap the gas and it shifts almost instantly. I'm in OD before I know it. Do I need to adjust my cable? I followed the directions in my Chilton manual for cable adjustment. I wanna make sure it revs out on the strip before it shifts.

Cable will effect the shifts only slightly. Make sure the cable is fully extended at WOT, and its set. The shifts are controlled by the valves and springs in the valvebody, and to an extent the govenor springs and weights. Thats why 700s are a PITA to set up in comparison to the 4l60e, that is shifted electronically.

Yeah, I pressed the little adjustment thingie on the cable, pulled my throttle all the way over and that was it. Guess I'll just have to test and see. I tried manual shifting my first and only time out. I've read now that it's not recommended. I'm gonna drop it in D and go. Hope it doesn't shift at like 4,000 or something.
