700r4 tv cable adjustment

[TJones]

I have a 1983 k2500 with a 700r4. I had the tranny rebuilt by a local shop and when driving away something seemed off with the shifting. Took it back and they put a new tv cable on it. Pick it back up and something again seems like it’s not right. It shifts into second about 10mph but all other gears after that feel normal. They double checked the cable and said everything is adjusted correctly but I just don’t feel right about it. They drove it and said it’s operating normally. It’s a reputable shop that I know a lot of people have gone to and is trusted but something is just off I feel. Can anyone look at this cable and offer any advice? I feel the cable should be tighter but looks like they also have the ratcheting option adjusted all the way tight

You need gauges to check adjustment. A lot of people use the set it too tight step on the pedal and it's adjusted method then tighten or loosen it a little to adjust shift points. I don't trust it.

I’m just really worried about burning up the tranny especially shifting that quick out of 1st. The other gears seem to shift at the correct points. I don’t have a gauge to measure the line pressure just didn’t know if I should be worried about how fast it shifts out of 1st

I use gauges because I don't want to burn up transmissions. Make sure you get a warranty,let the shop adjust it and leave it alone. You don't want them to void your warranty because you disagree with their setup.

Yeah that’s what I have been telling myself it just is a bummer to not feel comfortable driving it because of how it shifts it’s almost more annoying than anything from what I’m used to
