Want this question answered?
This is not a "kick-down" cable per my tranny mechanic. This cable goes to a transmission fluid pressure valve and will burn up your transmission if not changed immediately....
The throttle cable can't be adjusted but the kickdown can be adjusted. Shorten the cable length to get it to kick down a gear sooner. It will kick down under less power.Lengthen the cable length to get it to kick down later. It will kick down with more power.
you might be able to adjust it down at the trany, but it would be better to just replace the hole cable
well its Between the Gear and the Throttle there you can find the Kick-Down Cable
kick down cable
The transmission shifting is late because the kick-down cable needs to be adjusted. The kick-down cable is usually found on the throttle lever with the throttle cable.
You have to drop the trans pan to do it. Remove the cable from the carb and bracket. There is one bolt where the cable runs into the trans. Remove that bolt. After dropping the pan you'll see how the cable is mounted inside the trans. Remove the retaining clip and pull the cable out. Reverse for installation.
If you mean a Kick down cable you will ruin your transmission as the Kick down cable was only used by most manufacturers in the 1950s and 60s. Later cars had a system where the cable everyone called the Kick down was actually a throttle position cable and controlled the transmission internals to prevent slipping and controls how harsh the shifts are.
AnswerAT A JUNK YARD $ 334-283-4982It is not a throttle cable. It is a kick down cable that engages a lower(passing) gear when the throttle is quickly advanced.You can probably get one at Autozone or NAPA Auto Parts.
It does not have one.
Shorten the kickdown cable to make the transmission kick down into a lower gear sooner. Lengthen the cable to make the transmission shift down later or at a lower power setting.
no
