p.s. a 700R4 trans will not be long for this world without a proper TV cable adjustment. This is a known issue with them.
do you think i could make the new tv cable i ordered work right on the throttle body i have?

What issues are you having with the transmission? It won’t last very long without the TV cable hooked up and adjusted correctly. Not a kick down cable. That is a line pressure cable to raise and lower the transmission pressure as required. You will definitely lose 3rd and 4th gears in short order. That geometry doesn’t look like it will work properly. Good luck!

it takes a long time for it to shift into second gear and when it does it has a hard punch to it. But 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th is fine. I thought the tv cable and kickdown where the same thing. Well either way that tv cable needs to be adjusted. I hope thats the problem with the 1st gear shifting problem. And i dont have money to buy a new throttle body. I just ordered a new tv cable, and hoping i can make it work on what i have. And hopefully the transmission doesnt get messed up till i can afford a new throttle body if thats what i need.

The long shift is from the cable being on the tight side. That is not a bad thing to help preserve the transmission. Just be sure to get it adjusted correctly or you will kill the transmission in short order. YouTube has videos of how to adjust the cable.

Throttle lever is part of the throttle body. I would worry about brackets and other things being wrong as well. Better to compare at a junkyard on a vehicle that has everything you want intact, before spending money on the problem. I would start by determining what exactly you have........ https://www.autozone.com/repairguide...00c1528006c017#

I don't see where or how you are going to hook it up.
