TV Cable adjustment

I feel stupid asking this because I feel that I will get a lot of negitive replys about this, just from some of the stuff I've read on here from searching.

But, I was just messing with some stuff and saw some slack in the TV cable at the TB so I put a zip tie on the end of the line (so its between then end cap and the housing that stops it from going any further), so in retrospect, it can back back as far as it did before.

The shifts are MUCH better and it stay in my powerband much easier w/o giving it tons of gas to drop a gear afterr you round a corner.


Ive read that some ppl have fried there tannys within 10 miles with a un hooked TV cable, and others that lost gears, but I never read a stright answer on what exactly was affected by what I did.

So does anyone have any experiance with this? Good thing/bad thing/undo it now or buy a new tranny?

Thanks,

Adam
