How do i adjust the detent cable to make transmission shift to high gear
Could be a problem ground wire, did you notice any other items not working? also how old is your trucks battery? my car i was driving and all of a sudden it went from over drive to 2nd gear, long story short, my battery and alternator needed replaced. i thought battery was fine because all gauges and everything worked, but when i put a test load on it and saw the cranking amps which is the life line to a vehicle was bad it messed with everything in the car. it robbed power from other areas to keep it running.
There is no detent cable to adjust. Your transmission is probably a 4L60E which is electronic controlled by the computer. If it's not shifting into high gear then you need to take it to a transmission repair shop for analysis. 1st make sure you have the gear shift lever in 'D' and the tow haul button is not pressed in. Check your Instrument Cluster for the correct operation.
SOURCE: Engine RPM too high when transmission shifts. Bangs into gear.
check your fluid level when the car is warmed up
SOURCE: detent cable
If it is kicking down too soon into passing gear you have to adjust it out, if you can floor it and it won't kick down then you have to tighten it. Could be a couple different ways, but probably on the bracket that holds it and the throttle cables is two nuts that can used to let it in or out. If is a stationary mount, they do sell after market kick down cables, or you can modify yout self. I've seen many old trucks with a cable that "stretched out". Bracket bent, or the spring gave out on the mount and the cable is now long, use a small nut, and bolt in the front of the cable hook up to make it shorter. Just use a lock washer if ou do this.
SOURCE: transmission shifts hard and at high rpms all the way up to OD. Just had a cable adjusted also.
Maybe the detent cable wasn't adjusted right. you have to adjust it by hand at the throttle under the hood and not by just simply pressing on the accelerator
SOURCE: wont shift into drive
Have you changed the fluid & filter lately? Start there, much cheaper fix than anything else.

i messed with mine to make it shift better and week latter tran went out better to take to shop to ajust proper cheeper in long run
CAUTION: Under no circumstances will it be permissible to adjust linkage in any position other than the(D) position for E4OD applications.229 views
