This is happening with frequency coming off the exit from the highway, making a corner @30mph having braked lightly, then immediately up a slope so I have to give it some gas after braking for the corner.
I'll press the gas pedal just some, hardly floored, and the car will kick down a gear, rev to 3000 for half a second, before dropping back to the appropriate gear and climbing the slope @1500-2000rpm as it should have.
Is this simply normal? That is to say, is 30mph in between shifts, and is it quite plausible that when I tap the gas for the hill it's misinterpreting it as a demand for more power than I intended? That the tv cable responds to abruptness of gas pedal depression, and not just how far you're pushing it?
If so, then I'll just need to let it slow down a little more and ease into the gas more gently?
TV cable SHOULD be adjusted right, now. Had a friend help me. Floored it revs to 3000 or a little more. Press the gas pedal strongly but less than floored and it'll go to 2400. Depends on gears/speeds.
Mostly just curious about how the tv cable works (i.e., does it work on impulse as well as pedal position?) than too worried, since it's just that one exit, and it's not acting funny any other time.
Btw, I do still have a rubber grommet. Seems firm, and rubbery, and not at all cracking.
Still worth switching over to the brass bushing for the tv cable? There is however something to be said for being able to just pull the cable out to adjust, remove the intake, etc., whereas a tiny retaining pin could get damnably irritating to remove.
