I have both the throttle and tv cable from lokar. I am only using the throttle cable right now and really like it, i got the tv cable when i bought the transmission, and just have not put it on.

It is a lot better quality then the generic one AutoZone sells. IMO

I am using a Lokar throttle cable and TV cable as well.

Very high quality products.

Their dipsticks are crap though, they plug a hole and that is about it.

Went ahead and got the kickdown, maybe in a few weeks get the rest.

Any problems with the install ?

I added a transmission pressure gauge to my instrument cluster (really not necessary but I like to know what it's doing since it's got 213,000 miles on it)
Pressures are good thru-out the shifts...but it's a little slow engaging drive

I have one of their dipsticks, too. It looks good, but is a PITA to read the level and fill the trans.

I always clean the dipstick end with gas/sandpaper it a little/spray paint it with hightemp black paint/let it dry overnite.....

makes reading the fluid level a lot easier.....

I see it says in the instructions in step # 8 to use a oil pressure gage attached to the T.V. port on the transmission. can anyone tell me where this port is? A pic would be grate.

The only way I could was to drag my finger nail along it until fluid started pilling up in front of it.

PITA to fill a trans through a 1/4" straw as well.
