Tv Cable adjustment

[86cutlassrules]

Ive read a few articles on adjusting the Tv cable but I still don't understand it. If I am standing on the drivers side of the car I push the release button on the cable then do I pull it out (away from the carb towards the firewall) or in (towards the throttle lever away from the firrewall). My trans is shifting wrong so my guess is I have it set wrong. How do I do it?

make sure your cable is hooked up to the carb linkage first, then depress the tab/button , bring your throttle linkage to WOT and relase the button while at WOT and done

So I dont have to set it and then floor the car so it adjusts? Sorry I am asking so many questions I just dont want to blow my trans up.

Here's what the 83' Pontiac manual says.

I readjusted my cable because I was having some trouble, on take off the trans feels soggy its not like a solid feel like I had with my TH350, and it shifts at 3k rpm what can I do to fix that. I adjusted the cable as you guys explained but it did not help.

Sounds like a stock 200r4 that's 20+ yrs old. Sounds like mine

Is there a way to make it shift a little lower, I am afraid shifting that high will make it fall apart. Also it just doesnt have like that hard connection feeling is that because the converter isnt locked yet?
