i did set it i had help from one of the guys at work , i work at a ford dealership but im just an apprentice in my first year. i know we didnt set it the way the book says i held the outer arm on the tranny all the way back "towards the rear" then he locked the cable so im gona readjust it according to the book monday . but do u think if the tv cable is out of spec that it could cause the hard reverse and wierd overdrive ?

That guy at work, keep him away from your truck.

Yes, a TV cable adjustment out of whack can cause trans failure, so DO NOT DRIVE IT till you can get it fixed.

Scroll down on the "Browse by product type", open it and find 'Ford TV cable instructions'
