Hey everyone. Ive had my 2001 Tj sahara for about a month now, and ive been noticing its shifing odd. It seem to shift early, and when i slam the pedal, it is very slow and sluggish, and doesn't downshift to accelerate. After Further investigation, i traced it to a loose and slacked TV cable. Up near the throttle body, there is a yellow clip you remove to back out the housing, i can see that its spring loaded, but i can only back it out so far before the spring loaded mechanism stops. The only other option i would assume to do is check the other end and adjust that end. I would assume that it would be on or near the transmission, but i cannot find any youtube or guides on how to adjust the tv cable on the transmission end. Thank you for all of yalls help.
