There tends to be some confusion on the difference between a transmission kickdown cable and a throttle valve cable.
And the distinction is vitally important if you’ve got an aftermarket carburetor that’s not designed for a TV cable, yet you’re running a more modern transmission, like a GM 700R4.
In other words, if you don’t have that TV cable set right, then it could seriously hamper your transmission’s shifting performance, while shortening its lifespan at the same time.
