[Chevelle-List] kickdown cable

[Richard Milkiewicz]

Yesterday I said you didn't need the cable or switch. I got to thinking about that at work and I went and looked it up in our tech library. I have changed my thinking and what I said about not needing the kickdown cable is wrong, and this is why;  It tells the trans where the throttle position is. It will cause soft slow shifts and will cause the trans to run hot. With out the cable the trans thinks it's shifting around 1800 to 2000 rpm all the time. It may start hunting for a gear. Soooooooo, yes you need it. This applies to the 400 switch also.

Is it mandatory to use a trans kickdown cable on a TH350 ?? Or can it be eliminated. And what is the purpose for the cable ?? John Malibuman66 Phila, Pa The cable is for passing gear on a TH350.  It should be hooked up otherwise it is possible to burn the tranny up. Tom
