Quote: Thanks for your update. I wonder if that could be the case with my tranny aswell, as I have preloaded the KD-linkage slightly to make 1-2 shifts occur at a better time (around 10mph instead of 5mph).
If been wondering if the KD-lever on the tranny has the correct length for the throttle linkage on the carb ('73 318 2-bbl).
Not sure which would be the correct lever since the combo isn't stock. I would bet if the KD linkage is O.E. it should have the O.E. 318 lever. There are at least 2 different length levers availible during that vintage that will change the geometry. Also important to have the light spring pulling the linkage up snug to the carb stud. Doug
