trans help...

[IRONMONKEY]

I have a 74 charger 318 auto. I just put an air gap intake from summit i cant seem to find a kick down for the trans. I have thought of getting another trans since the one i have is starting to slip ( sit for 3 years ). If i get a new trans can i get one with a cable kick down and what would is the pros and cons of a cable kick down to a rod kick down.

Thanks

A transmission is seldom supplied with a cable kickdown but they can be purchased from several sources.

I would avoid the popular but generic Lokar in favor of the Bouchillon which is made for Mopars.

do you know were i could just get the regular kick down for a airgap intake summit brand with a holley carb?

was that names of trans with the cable kick downs?

[mauve66]

the cable kickdown is just a replacement for the mechanical linkage kickdown used on the same trans, any trans can have a cable kickdown put on it

[IRONMONKEY]

Is the cable kick down better then the mechanical kick down witch is more reliable?

Thanks for the help again guys

Not "better", just sometimes the only alternative with some manifold/carb combos.

If you don't have the fabrications skills to make custon mechanical linkage, the cable is often the easiest/cheapest way to go.
