TV Cable adjustment

[cummins32]

I pulled my trans out saturday night to replace the rear main seal, and I got it all back together but cannot for the life of me get it to shift right. I take off and it shifts to 2nd immediately, and won't go into 3rd and I can't get going fast enough for overdrive. If I manually shift it I can hit 3rd but I'm not at a high enough speed to get it to overdrive still. I've searched and read everything I could on several different forums. I've tried adjusting it to factory specs and can't get it. Also the cable goes onto the little rod doo-hickey on the transmission and when it kicks down it should push that all the way back and that should go into passing gear correct ? So when the throttle returns it should bring the little rod thing back to the front towards the front of the motor ? I'm completely lost and can't figure it out at all. Any help is Greatly appreciated.

Can you post a pic of both ends of your TV cable? Or if that's a hassle PM me your number and I'll see if I can see anything from cell pics.

I've been down this road before

I got it all figured out finally. The transfercase was in 4-low and my friend put the stick on and had it all messed up lol.

With out low range being less than 2:1 I can see this happening sometimes!

Did it feel like a Allison transmission with that super low reverse/first?? Lol
