Ensure Your Transmission Swap Success with Our Kickdown Cable Kit The transmission kickdown is a critical part of your transmission’s operation. The cable assembly (and on some older vehicles an actual medal rod/linkage) connects to the engine’s carburetor or throttle body EFI system and provides a downshift, or “kickdown” to what many refer to as a “passing gear.” This performs a downshift to the transmission automatically when the accelerator pedal is depressed to wide open throttle (WOT), placing the engine’s output in the peak power and torque range for maximum acceleration to pass a vehicle. This is all accomplished without the driver having to touch the shift lever in the car, possibly downshifting too far (all the way to first gear) or potentially moving the shift lever to neutral or reverse, causing catastrophic damage. When swapping a different transmission behind your project’s engine you will often find the factory kickdown linkage or passing gear cable will not interface with your new transmission, or the factory transmission kickdown linkage that came with your donor transmission will not fit your vehicle’s Tuned Port Injection throttle body. Of course, most reman transmissions and performance transmissions do not come with shift levers and kickdown setups of any sort, relying on the installer to figure everything out. In any of these cases, a cable-type kickdown assembly is your best bet to obtain a functional transmission kickdown cable adjustment for your TPI intake-equipped engine and transmission combo. Transmission Kickdown Cable Kits Fit GM’s Tuned Port Injection System Available for two of the most popular swap transmissions for small block Chevy TPI 350 and 305 engines, the Turbo 350 3-speed and the 700R4 4-speed overdrive automatics, our kickdown cable kits are an excellent value, having all the same great features as others on the market for less! Whether you need a TH350 kickdown cable or 700R4 kickdown cable, these kickdown cables are real problem solvers! These kick down cable kits feature a cut-to-fit outer sheath and cable (can be cut with hacksaw or fine cutoff wheel), providing the perfect length, and routing no matter the engine/transmission combination and engine bay obstacles. They are available in either braided stainless steel or black polyethylene covered outer finishes with matching aluminum fittings. The PTFE inner lining provides smooth cable actuation in any environment and through multiple bends making routing a breeze. Each cable kit includes the necessary mounting brackets/connections for the transmission of choice along with a standard adjustable cable end to attach to your TPI’s throttle body, making your transmission kickdown cable install easy. Most factory carburetor linkage brackets will accommodate these cable-style kickdown kits, but for those that need a mounting solution, we offer TPI intake-specific throttle cable brackets if your factory one is missing or damaged. We also offer matching throttle cables if you’re looking to clean up your engine’s throttle and kickdown setup or converting from a mechanical throttle pedal to a cable operated throttle pedal during your small block Chevy TPI 350 swap at the same time as your trans swap. Universal kits for carbureted applications are also available
