Adjusting the TV cable is going change line pressures, not shift points. When I had my AOD, EVERYBODY who was anybody in this racket said "don't touch the TV cable". I heard horror stories of guys doing adjustments and days later the trans blowing up. With the change of gears, it will rev the motor quicker thereby shifting sooner. This is how my car reacted when I did the 3.73 swap. Just my opinion, but if you do highway driving those 4.10's are gonna get old quick. Even now I'm considering going back to the 3.27's my car came with. Like I said it's JMO.

I had my car up on a hoist a couple weeks back and I did the drive shaft vs tire rotation and came to find that I have 2.72 rear gears. I'm 17 years old and the farthest I drive on the freeway is to work which is no more than 5 miles.
The TV cable is a nightmare, I was driving one day and hit a bump, then the car wouldn't shift into o/d and was slipping like crazy. Turns out the TV cable bushing deteriorated and fell off. So i bought the brass one from a ford dealer, i snapped it on using instructions on a well known video on youtube. Is there any other adjusting I need to do on the TV cable after I reinstalled it?
And just to confirm, the AOD trans will adjust the shift points itself because it shifts at a certain RPM for each gear.
Sorry to ask questions having nothing to do with my original thread.
