    The internet recipes for TV cable geometry differ from the aftermarket 700r4 throttle arm you can buy nearly everywhere. IMO the "bought" arm had very normal and early shifts. The arm I made using the internet recipe returns the cable 3/16" less at idle and gives an almost shift-kit like 1-2 and 2-3 shift under light throttle. Although t he shifts are a bit late and firm under light throttle, they are VERY smooth under heavy throttle, I'd almost say "sliding" from one gear to the next as if the transmission doesnt let go of the lower gear right away when shifting into the next gear.
    Is this how these transmissions operate normally? If so, will a B&M kit firm up the shifts?

    Here is some great installation info from Bowtieoverdrives.com that is requred reading if you buy one of their transmissions. These articles even have a test-drive sequence and troubleshooting!
