In an effort to simplify things in my 89 GW, I have seen several recommendations to replace the transmission linkages with a Lokar kick down cable. My transmission shop won't do anything non-stock except maybe a shift improver kit so this is looking like a DIY job.
Who has done this and what did you learn from it? How difficult is it? I can't rip out my linkage and fail at the install resulting in a dead GW in the garage.
Any issues with reliability? Should I change out the throttle cable at the same time?
I plan on adding TBI or EFI in the next 6-12 months, should I wait until then or just plan on changing the end linkage as part of the swap?
I did it on the 727 I have it’s not hard, you will need to follow the procedure if I remember I held the pedal all the way down with a brick while holding the tv/on the trans forward and tightening the cable. It’s strikingly similar to the brake cable tension on a bicycle. Instructions are included
