my experience is removing over a dozen of these "kits" and re-installing factory pieces, plus re-engineering several brackets as well as replacing cables with ones of better quality.
your mileage will vary.

I have considered this and I do have a stock throttle cable but I didn’t know there was a trans cable - thought they were all rods and pivots. I do have the kickdown rods and brackets that came on this engine but that’s not going to work. My experience is that once you set these cheap lokar cables, you better leave them alone. I have had to move mine a few times and now they’re coming apart.
