1984 Trans Am, Not Shifting Back.

I have an issue with the trans now well it is to do with the new carbie, under load or when accelerating in 4th gear it is not shifting back to 3rd. Now it goes like hell when I manual shift back but it refuses to do it on its own, it also jumps from first goes in to second gear for like .8 of a second then jumps in to third and it makes it a bit sluggish off the line.
Ok I know what caused this little problem, Stupidity! Not researching before working on it.
There are two cables going to a third gens carbe one is throttle (normal) the other (what I thought to be a disconnected cruise controls) is a T.V (throttle Valve) cable. This cable is VERY important for a 700r4 trans, it tells the trans how mutch the throttle is open.
But now this cable is connected and set correctly it runs fine again.
