Just wondering how many people on here don’t have a kickdown cable ?
The Charger I have just bought doesn’t have one and I was considering buying the kit but thinking more of it I don’t think it would bother me too much just to drop down to 2nd gear manually everytime I want some hard acceleration, in fact I kind of like the idea of controlling it manually
Any thoughts ?
Thanks
Stay away from aftermarket junk cable "kickdowns". Just go get the correct factory piece and adjust it. When adjusted it will respond w/o the need to shift it manually. As mentioned you MUST run a "kickdown" or you will destroy the transmission.
What's wrong with the cable kits? I'm using a Lokar on my 518 and it works just fine. Haven't touched it since I put the motor in the car.
I bought a Lokar, that thing was a total POS. I could never get it adjusted right. I was trying to get it right at the track and ended up throwing in the trash. I used my old stock unit and modified it with a piece of beer can and it worked perfectly. They are junk, there mounting bracket is flimsy AF...at least 15 years ago they were. I'd never use one again, way to easy to modify a stock unit.
