Okay, it's possible then that your Fiero has a non-OEM cable on it.

Although I have no idea how you'd adjust that type of TV cable, it still needs to be adjusted properly for correct operation.

Luke, you told me at the meeting tonight that you thought the adjustment button was on the tranny end of the TV cable.

Was there something about my earlier post you didn't understand? Check the bolded part!

It turned out that the "ratchet" type connector on the TB end of the TV cable on my GT simply would not adjust the way it was supposed to (according to "the book").

I had to use other means (involving brute force and much swearing) to get the proper adjustment, but I did finally get it and now all is well.

What's the problem with kids these days anyway?

Luke, as far as I know, the torque converter does not normally lock up under full throttle no matter how you might have that TV cable adjusted.

Luke, I came across a couple pages in the service manual that talk about TV cable diagnosis and adjustment. These may or may not be helpful to you...

 So any updates, how is the box working for you, now that you got the cable setup right?
