TH350 Kick Down Cable

[ctouchet]

Where does it hook up to on the transmission ( any pictures) I dont see a place to hook it too.

IIRC it goes in the tranny on the passenger side behind the bellhousing and before the dipstick - can't take a pic of it now tho, still (bored) at work, lol

[ctouchet]

any one have a picture

if you don't have the cable connected now, or a part of another cable, then you will have to pull the oil pan and connect the new cable to the linkage.

I think he needs a pic from underneath the truck on the tranny itself. Let me go snap a pic real quick, if my batteries are still good that is.

Best pictures I got. Turns out my truck is too low to crawl completely under it

And the exhaust is too hot right now and Im not about to burn the crap out of my arm to try to get a better one.

Darn, completely forgot about that thread, sorry man - here ya go:

As you can see the cable goes in the tranny case just a few inches before and below the cooling lines fittings, it normally goes up behind the engine but mine is disconnected, hence the weird bend towards the frame and away from the engine.

thanks for the pictures

is that a pretty strait foward job?

well if the pan ain't got no drain plug (and most don't) it can get a real messy job, haven't done it to the truck yet but on my Lincoln when I'm about to drop the tranny pan I first disconnect the return line from the ATF cooler up front and let the tranny pump itself dry - there's still some ATF left in the pan afterwards, but still not even close to the ungodly amounts that normally live there - less ATF in pan, less spill on the floor, less complaints from the lady

yeah, ive dropped pans before for filter changes and a hurst shifter, i know they can get messy, i just didnt know how hard the cable hook up was, or how easy/hard it was to access

There was a picture of that thing inside the tranny somewhere here me thinks, do a search and include all the sub-forums.
