Question AOD TV cable adjusment issues

I have an 84 f150 with a 302. I am having issues with adjusting the tv cable.
Previously had a TV rod.

I have a lokar tv cable and tool. Stock AOD transmission.

1) When the pressure is set in neutral between 0-5 PSI without the tool and between 32-40 PSI, I have very early shifts and 3rd bogs down.

2) When I set it to 32-34 PSI without the tool 50-53 psi with the tool I have good solid spaced shifts (overdrive wants to come in a tad late).

If a helper spring is put to bring back the tv arm to where it reads zero and set it to 0 w/o tool 32-40 w/ tool Soft shifts.

No binding and all the necessary brackets are installed.

I am at a loss as to what wrong... any help would be appreciated.

Nothing is wrong, set is somewhere in between those two to get as close as possible to the shift pattern you want. You probably won't get it exactly the way you want you will have to compromise a little.

Yeah, lokar said I didnt need a tv corector, and had it in the wrong hole at the trans. Once I got it in the right hole, removed the tv corrector, and put graphite on the cable I have been ok.
