This is my first tranny install and there is one thing that i really think i f'd up on. I'v been installing a junk yard 700r4 and transfer case into this beater 1990 k1500. Everything is in i'm just waiting on a new throttle valve cable (detent cable) to put it. But me, being my first tranny install, thought that the piece inside of the transmission that the detent cable attatches too.....came out. which i later found out that it doesn't, and that the TV cable just connects to it. I yanked on it pretty good with some pliers, and it never came out, and it still moves up and down. My question is could i have done some serious damage to that peice and the throttle valve itself???? let me know what u think.... thanks!
The only thing i can think you could have done i bent the peice that comes out of the trans. If the throttle valve still returns like a spring when you pull it with your fingers and you can still hook the tv cable to it it should be fine. unhook the tv cable at the carb or throttle body to hook it to the valve then hook it back to the carb or throttle body.
