kick down question

[goldie]

do i need to hook up the kick down cable on a 350 trans what does it really control?

no you dont. it controls exactly what it says. when your driving at 30 and you punch it, it should drop down to 1st gear. it only controls the downshift/passing gear. not how the transmission up-shifts. but if you leave it disconected, and your driving down the street and you wana pass someone, you need to take your shifter and pull it manualy down to 2nd or 1st for it to downshift.

how do you adjust the kick down cable?

 

[327mali]

well with your throttle all the way open, the kickdown cable should be pulled all the way out, where it clips into the bracket on the carb/intake there is a white slide clip that slides up. then you can move the end of the cable where the metal cable comes out in and out. when you figure it out just slide the white clip back down and it will be set
