Hello folks,
transmission builder is finishing my 904 and I told him that I wasn't planning to use the kickdown. He was very upset and said it´s mandatory to use it.
Sorry my ignorance but is this true? Wha would be the issues of not using it?
Car will be street/strip...
Thanks,

If you are not using a manual valve body then yes, it is mandatory otherwise front clutch failure will soon follow.

You don't have to use the TV linkage. But when the trans takes a dump prematurely, you'll wish you had.

The TF-2 kit gets good reviews & I think with an adjusted correctly kickdown & the largest cooler that will fit in front of the rad that you will be good to go.

Ok, so looks like the concense it that I need it.. I just want to find the best way to do it as I don't have the linkages.. maybe cable is the easier way to go... There´s some old chrysler video here... 1971 Master Technician Service Conference https://youtu.be/KsfI9cFFPpg

I picked up on where Doc was going with it. He was being sarcastic about why the OP would be questioning his trans guy's intelligence. To BullBob and the rest ! ..., no sarcasm on my part !! ... jsta total BRAIN FADE on my part ! I misread it..... BIG TIME. BUTTT .. You CAN drive without KD linkage if you tie the lever back about a third of the way ..., if you drive it EZ. Do thatt - then put in a WANTED AD back in the swap meet section here and get the right OEM parts. I have never used a cable set up .... I’ve heard mixed reports about that setup.... FRANKENfurter ... I’ll EAT CAKE on this one !
