Using lokar kickdown - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

geoman · 11-27-2007, 01:41 AM

Guys,

Looks like i am going to use the lokar TH400 kickdown switch but I have a question. It appears the box bolts to the tranny pan via the existing bolts. I have an aftermarket shifter that came in the truck and the cable bracket is bolted to this same location. This will interfere correct? Ot can I bolt the kickdown "box" somewhere else (i.e. frame)? Anyone using this have pics?

Thanks
Mike

You can mount it anywhere you like. The pan bolts are just convenient for most applications.

By the way, that's a real nice kit. I used it on my big block truck I built a few years ago.

as long as the wires reach (which can be made longer).

I mounted my box to the frame. There are 2 holes already drilled next to the tranny that fit perfect!

I am glad to hear this. I am planning to use this on my 70cst when it goes into the body shop this winter.
