Will a 700R4 shift without the TV cable?

What happens if TV cable is too tight?
Be aware that a broken or disconnected TV will cause the pressure relief ball in the valve body to become fully seated. When this occurs, the transmission will have maximum line pressure, the shifts will occur extremely hard and late, and at lower vehicle speeds the transmission may not shift at all.
What does the TV cable do on a 700R4?
The TV cable on the 700-R4 and 200-4R transmissions controls line pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts, and detent (full throttle) downshifts. So if the TV cable is not adjusted properly, it can cause numerous transmission problems.

Can a Universal TV cable work on a 700R4?
Monster Transmission & Performance recommends our universal TV Cable that is designed to work correctly in any 700R4/2004R application. With the carburetor/throttle body end of the TV Cable disconnected, pull the link out of the transmission and fit the cable end to the link as shown in Figure 1.
What should the pressure be on a 700R4 TV?
The problem was the TV CL to CL was too long at about 1.45 inches. This means at idle, the TV plunger was too far out and on initial throttle tip-in there was no line rise. On a stock 700 or 200 trans line pressure in Drive at idle should be 65-80 lbs.
