Same junk as the Lokar with a different name.

Lokar copy. Can't tell the quality from the picture, but there is not much to either setup.

I'm not sure if they are the same as the ones that you linked to, but I put a "non-Lokar" set of throttle and trans cables on my Super Bee a few years ago when I converted the engine to EFI and the fuel rails were in the way of the stock linkage.

The parts in the kit looked almost exactly like the Lokar ones, but the quality of everything included was terrible. The braided line was very cheap feeling and flimsy, and the attaching hardware had the nasty habit of popping off when I was driving.

I replaced with Lokar pieces, and have been fine ever since. The quality of the Lokar parts isn't anything amazing, but its a heck of a lot nicer than the stuff I used and has held up for the last five or so years for me.

With that said, using a cable for the trans pressure linkage is a whole other topic here, so make sure that you that this isnt a "plug and play" kind of swap.

I've been told by Dave Smith at Pro trans to only use the Buchillion(SP?) brand only for all Mopar automatic cable kick down conversions scope

THe Lokar is a cheap looking setup. The Bouchillon kit is superior.

The last Bouchillon cable set I saw looked like a 10 speed bicycle cable. I hope they have made improvements.

I like the Lokar stuff. Throw their instructions away and mount them up how you want.

I question your motives here. Your initial post was asking if anyone used this kit, imply you hadn't and wanted some input.

Then you claim "gearhead setup is cheaper and will work lol " and work to put down anything else mentioned, even when recommended by acknowledged experts in relevant fields.

How do you know?

Remember, the length of travel for the carb throttle attachment point is not necessarily the same as the transmission lever. You will need to adjust the attachment point of one side or the other to correct this. Its not hard, but takes some time.

Just trying to give the heads up in case you haven't used a cable before.
