linkage adjustment??????

[WVUFELLA]

hey guys any suggestions??? this is not a pic of my setup this is of another member that sent to me to help me out but my whole linkage apparatus is different???

take the rod with the long hole in it loose and turn it in to the right. it may take some trial and error to get it right where you want it.

there are 2 types of kickdowns , the 3 piece pictured & the one piece , you basically need the lickage to push all the way back at full throttle or slightly less to adjust shift points

And don't romp on it until you get it fixed, if the shifts are stacking up, you will burn up the trans running the car hard.

The best thing to do in these situations is to post a pic of YOUR linkage. That way we can see any "problem spots" that need to be changed/modified.

ok here is some pics of the linkage.. i am hopin i have some hooked up backwards or seomthin stupid cuz i have adjusted it from end of the spectrum to the other and there is no real change.... got me ?? I cant get the pivot to set straight up in the picture from bullit (above) The piece that connects the round rod to the slotted looks like a homemade piece from somewhere( this is the way i bought all i did was change the intake manifodl from a torker to the holley street dominator and removed the 800 DP holley and a 770 streetavenger on it any ideas???

Well,it looks terrible in the first pics ,then looks pretty good in the last with the "extension" on it. You have tried driving it with the extension on it?

I'd look at the basics from the Service Manual (short version)
   Kickdown band adjustment  loosen jamb nut, run in adjuster then back out 2 1/2 turns.
   Linkage adjustment... With choke disconnected or held open have someone hold the kickdown lever on the tranny all the way forward (or make tool with spring to hold). Loosen kickdown lever adjustment bolt, holding the lever back, adjust the slotted bar forward till is in contact with the carb. stud.

i drove it with extwension on it and it shifted 1-2-3 befroe 10 mph that si why i took it off to see if it would make a difference but i cant tell much if any....... where could i get a 727 service manual? i am a moron i need detailed pics and directions when it comes to these type of things.........what manual is the best?

[tactransman]

For a test,stick a bolt,nut and a washer in the rear of the slot so that the carb pin starts to move the linkage sooner. Keep sliding it and tightening it forward till you see a difference.

good idea i think that is what MEK was tryin to show me ... now that i look at his pic and put what yer post said together it makes sense... however if i can get it to shift right with the bolt nutwasher idea that tells me somethin is still not right ... since that is factory linkage off of somethin and alot of the parts have changed ( intake and carb) does that mean the factory linkage probably wont ever be right??  i was  thinking of puttin one of those cables on anyways eventually.... i am jus wondering if i am missing pieces or if that is just the way it is with modifications???

[tactransman]

Can you post a pic of the transmission lever below and the linkage?

I had to put the bolt to work in mine.  Used to shift very quick before 10 MPH too. Now from 1 to 2 at about 15 mph and into 3rd at about 40 unless I have the pedal pushed a lot more........
