Using lokar kickdown

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

Re: Using lokar kickdown

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.

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.
