Location: Fremantle, Western Australia, Australia | Does anyone have any photos of the Kick-down for a 2x4 Carb setup to a 3 speed torqueflite transmission, I have no kick down connected
and I'm trying to get an overall picture to see where the kickdown linkage is connected to the primary 4 bbl carb and also at the torqueflite
transmission
Can the Linkage to the accelerator pedal be moved to the red circle and the kick down cable be placed at the at the yellow circle, just trying
to work out what other people are using or any suggestion...cheers

Location: Eastern Iowa | The kickdown rod goes from the bell crank on the firewall to the trans.
I think you will need to copy one from a 300 to get it right. |

Location: Netherlands | The throttle linkages connects at about 1" distance from the throttle-blade shaft.
IMO the kickdown lever should be located at the same 1" distance from the throttle-blade shaft-center to work correctly. |

Which is why I posted those two linkage diagrams, like this one (it's rod 14-11-9 that connects to the kickdown lever on the transmission):

So we spend some time finding info that you would find helpful with OE linkage, and *THEN* you tell us you have a Lokar cable system. Some of us
might be confused. Others might be p*ssed off, having wasted our time and efforts.

tried dont even want to do the Lokar setup, soon as they see the car they dont want to know, plus you have not wasted your
time because now Ive learnt something and I can use this information for when I do find someone who is willing to do
this for me, I'm sorry if I wasted people's time, but I needed Info so I can clearly see how things go...Cheers,
If other people have any other inputs or a better way to do this I'm open for suggestions, I would prefer to use the original
and sell the Lokar because no one in my town is willing to do it! |

Location: Lower Mainland BC | How is your throttle peddle connected to the carburetor? As in via rods and bell crank? If so, then all you might need is the rod from the bell crank to the transmission.
SO...searching for section 14-11-9 in the 55-58 Mopar Parts catalogue pdf and then zeroing in on 1958 Plymouth with TorqueFlite, we get 1734 979 as the rod you need (See listing below the photo).
Taking "1734979 rod" to eBay and hitting search yields a perfect hit. Go for it.

Location: Lower Mainland BC | I'm pretty sure that you should have disclosed that your car was RHD in your very first post in this thread. Likewise the Lokar kit.
I am guessing that because you don't have the proper RHD kickdown bell crank, your car originally came with a standard transmission (??). Seems odd that in OZ new cars with automatics didn't get kick down. The only explanation involves the car being built as a standard.
With the new RHD/no bell crank information now on the table, I see two options:
1. Figure out how to install that Lokar kit. In this case it might be the best/easiest solution.
2. Figure out and fabricate an extension to the existing throttle shaft that transfers the throttle movement from the right hand side of your car to the left side of the carburetors. You could find/make a collar that fits over the end of the shaft and fit it with a temporary set screw (parts shown in yellow below). The you could add, either by welding or screwing an new kick down bell crank (flat bar stock) (shown in blue) to the yellow collar and have a hole in the bell crank plate through which the threaded/ball end of the kick down rod (shown in orange) would fit (with a nut). Some fiddling would be required. Once it was working and the position of the yellow colllar determined, the set screw could be replaced with a plug weld or a through bolt and nut. (Just an idea).

Great Info Dave, thanks for that last diagram, I have this sorted out now,...Cheers, really appreciate your time and effort!
No problem. If I had been sharper, I would have seen the power brake stuff, i.e. your chromed vacuum tank and the accordion bellows on the passenger side, and figured it (RHD) out. But I didn't. SO my bad.
As for that "sketch", that was just to give you an idea. There will be a lot of fiddling to figure out exactly how long that yellow collar will need to be to get the blue bell crank and the kickdown rod in the correct lateral position. And then there will be the length of the bell crank, its rotational location and the position of the hole for the threaded ball end of the kickdown rod. It's almost like it would be easiest to protype it in wood so you could modify things easier until it gets figured.
Good luck. |

Location: Lower Mainland BC | I was under my car (56 Dodge) today removing the starter (a subject of a different thread) and when I had removed it, I looked up and saw that I could take a great photo of the throttle and kick down rods and their associated bell crank lever arms. I measured the kick down lever arm at about 6" center to center. About.
Hope that the photo helps.

Location: Lower Mainland BC | Good stuff. Mick's photo shows how much better the factory's solution was better than my idea. With the clamp, you can make rotational adjustments on the kickdown bell crank angular position. With the multiple holes in the bell crank, you can play with the bell crank length and the kick down rod angle, etc. You have your path forward.

How would there be damage from lots of throttle but no kick down? Bogging?

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Dave, the kickdown is the least important thing with the throttle linkage.
It's better to call the linkage "throttle valve linkage", which is the correct terminology.
The throttle valve linkage serves to get the correct amount of pressure to the hydraulic system so that the shift points corresponds to the actual rpm of the engine (position of the carburetor valves).
So, wrong adjustment of the hrottle linkage will result in that the shift points are totally off and with the wrong pressure at that, which can result in serious damages to the clutch and bands in the transmission.
The "kick-down" is a secondary function of the throttle valve.......
This is basic automatic transmission knowledge.
So, 57chizler is right on the spot about this.

I will be having a professional transmission person go through whatever cast iron torqueflite I end up using. I will rely on them to get their part correct.
I will be installing the existing Powerflite kickdown rod in the "new" cast iron torqueflite's kick down lever.
(Which I discovered 20 minutes ago it is held in by a clip).
This clip type:
Apparently widely available, including from Rock Auto:

I am not saying that "Compensated Throttle Pressure" isn't important, but you can't deny the fact that a bunch of Chrysler training info references "Kickdown", many many times.
Did I say "many" ??

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island | Kickdown is a funktion in automatic transmissions, so the term kickdown is correct.
However, the most important function for the throttle valve linkage is to supply compensated throttle pressure.
example, let's assume that the accelerator pedal movement is restricted by the carpet so that a kickdown cannot occur- if the throttle valve linkage is otherwise correctly adjusted, this condition won't damage the transmission.
If the throttle valve is wrongly, adjusted kickdown might occur, but at wrong speed/pressure. In this condition, or if the linkage is missing, the risk of damages are very high.
So, adjust the linkage properly.
You might call a duck cat, but don't expect it to swim well |

Just as I was going to post my photos of this "new" adjustable kickdown rod and then I saw the same rod in a photo from Magnus (see below). WHAAAT? Too funny (for me). At least, now I know for sure the correct orientation, etc. (Thanks Magnus).
