Keep in mind these aren't kickdown cables. They are TV cables and i know you guys know that. I recently had to build a trans because the dyno operator at a shop disconnected what he thought was a kickdown cable. They then couldnt figure out why it wouldn't put down any whp. Ouch. The band, drum, and directs were toast. One second of assumption leads to $1500 worth of repair.

Thanks Bison,just some old school terminologyand yes I have seen that also.The guy had a Monte SS that would shift too soon so he left the cable off

they should have done the demo car trick of pulling the cable all the way out and crimping a fishing lead weight on the line to keep it from going back in to get max line pressure. the trans would still be toast after a short time, but they would have gotten a dyno run or two out of it..

i don't get how someone can't know the difference between a kickdown cable and a tv cable.. the hookups are totally different, and i don't think there has been a kickdown on any car built since at least 1980 or so. maybe some Dodge products that still used the 727/924 transmissions and a few random Ford trucks that had a C4 or C6 in them or something like that might have had them into the late 80's, but that's about it.. even the rusty old TH350 went to a TV cable when they put lockup converters in them.

The TH350C didn't use a TV cable, it retained the Detent/Kickdown cable. They were used in Trucks/Vans thru 86 & Cars thru 84.
The 83 & 84 MonteCarlo SS had TH350C w/3.42 gear , the 85-88 got the 200-4R w/3.73 gear.
