I just adjusted my TV cable according to the transmission adjustment thread ( https://www.3geez.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40885 ) as mine was WAY off, shifting from first to second with it floored at about 3800 rpms lol (btw 0-60 with the cable this badly adjusted takes about 20 seconds hehe)
I was wondering if there's anybody else out there who has adjusted the cable and gotten it to the perfect slack, if they could give a general idea of the rpms and speed at which they're tranny shifts for them under light to moderate and then wide open throttle.
The way my car is adjusted right now it's better than it was before but I think it's a bit too tight now, there is something confusing though:
At WOT it shifts from first to second where it should; close to redline.
From first to second it once again shifts at the proper point, close to redline, at about 61mph (sorry I don't remember the speed it shifted from first to second)
This is all well and good and my accord I can gladly say now accelerates barely fast enough to keep up with today's super computer cars! =)
The issue is light to moderate throttle shifting, though.
It seems to be shifting a bit too late in each gear, around 3k (20 mph about from first to second and about 38 2nd to 3rd)
This confuses me lol, because if I adjust the tv cable to lower the shift points more to their normal area that's also going to affect my WOT shift points, right?
That brings be right back to the question I asked earlier lol
Can anybody suggest what the normal shift points should be? Am I just so used to my trans shifting so early from before adjusting it that it just *seems* like it's shifting too early? Although I do think 3k rpms is a little high for it to be shifting from 1st to 2nd under light acceleration lol, it's going to eat up gas like a fat kid does pie.
Okay, I guess that's all I wanted to say / ask, this is probably confusing enough already lol
Thoughts?
