extremely soft 2nd to 3rd shift

It worked perfectly until you disconnected the tv cable when you removed the spacer? Has to be adjustment. The cable in my Dakota was out of adjustment and it shifted early and shift flared into 3 rd. (very soft shift) I got a manual and adjusted it in the idle position and it works perfect. A trans shop I know kept telling me to adjust it like the GM trannys. (full throttle and reset the button) Wrong! LOL good luck. tmm
