Got a vintage truck, hot rod, or classic car with an automatic transmission? Then you probably already know that, in order to get firm, reliable downshifts, you’ve got to make sure your transmission kickdown mechanism is working correctly.
If it’s damaged or improperly adjusted, you’ll have all sorts of issues with keeping your transmission in the right gear, particularly when you’re trying to pass on the freeway or climb a steep grade.
That also means if you’re struggling with those issues, then an old or worn-out kickdown cable is often the culprit.
Hence why the shifter experts at Lokar offer a robust lineup of Hi-Tech Kickdown Kits for a variety of different applications. These kickdown cables feature precision machined fittings with a stainless center cable that’s wrapped in a specially extruded liner for years of reliable operation.
The kits include pretty much everything you need to install the cable specific to your application, and Lokar gives you a choice of several cable wraps—whether you dig the look of an exposed braided cable or a sleek black custom vibe.
From the trusty AOD and 727 Torqueflite to the more modern 4L60, Lokar makes these Hi-tech Kickdown kits for a dizzying mix of applications, including options for carbureted setups and throttle body EFI systems. Click your vehicle make below for each specific transmission model available.
