Line Pressure, one for the tranny gurus

(Question from a previous thread.)

When I talked to Dave Goerend last night he mentioned that when the gas pedal is all the way to the floor the lever on top of the gear selection lever (on the tranny itself) should be all the way back and that would increase my line pressure. When I stomp on it now, it doesn't seem like it wants to down shift. So I crawled under it and had the ol lady press all the way down on the pedal. That lever only went about half way back, so...

One, how do I go about adjusting that lever, and two, would that be the solution to the problem I am experiencing? I would call Dave up and ask him, but he's unavailable today. Thanks for the help.

Adjust your TV cable not the bracket, if you have to bend your bracket your cable maybe stretched. What year truck to you have? If you have to adjust your tv cable, do a search it has been listed before.

I searched and searched and couldnt find a thing. I ended up clamping a lead fishing weight to the tv cable. Worked like a champ.
