Thanks Robert.. I should ad that the slotted bar was just barely being pushed at idle, so I was close on it.. Aware a stock tranny should not be shifted manually, just wanted to add that to my thread concerning the band adjustment.. Tranny was rebuilt before installing it in car, so I wanna think its OK, just operator error in adjusting kickdown...

I believe I have read on here that the kickdown lever, on the tranny, should move all the way at wot.. Mine is not, it can still move maybe a 1/4 to 1/2 inch.. Is this OK?

That's how I started on mine. I had to lengthen the KD rod by an inch or so to get enough adjustment room. Currently, I have it so at WOT the kickdown linkage can't go any further back. Under light throttle I hit 3rd around 25-30, and a few mph higher under more throttle.

I still don't have PTK, or Full throttle kickdown for that matter either I went from a 2bbl to 4bbl, so I think the carb travel changed, so I need to adjust the linkage at the transmission.
