4L80E and 4L60E trans column shift cable adjustment
Alright,
I've got this K3500 Dually that's giving me fits. The cable that goes from the column shift lever to the side of the transmission needs to be replaced. I started having problems with the transmission returning to PARK after driving. Checked out the cable (which I already knew was previously rigged) and it's got bailing wire and some stuff wrapped around the plastic that goes through the bracket. I'm assuming that the cable has a broken cable retainer.
Anyways, I've got a new (ouch) shift cable that I'm just going to gut this one and replace it with.
I hear there is an adjustment procedure on this, to get the cable calibrated to where park, and low 1 are supposed to be, to get the right length on the transmission down below.
The adjustment is on the tranmission itself.
Gonna be playing with this in a few hours, but the correct adjustment procedure would be much appreciated for the 1996 or later trucks.
I also hear that the cable is the same for the 4L60E as well. Truck has the 4L80E of course.
Did some searching on the 'net and you'd be surprised how HARD it is to find anything about this procedure that says much. Mostly places trying to tell me that there is no cable for a 4L80E or a 4L60E, and places that'll sell you that perfect TV cable to mount to your carborgasserguzzlerator.
