Noob question 727 really low shift points

thats your ratchet shifter cable Junior

let me see if i can find a pic of the lever you're looking for

(but the pic of the carb is definitive, there is no kick down linkage connected)

on a side note, those are pressurized transmission cooler lines (up to 30 PSI if all is well, but might spike if all is NOT well) and i would not trust those hose clamps

it is cobbled together (sorry, but no point in me lying to you as well)

i would replace them with an aftermarket set, should run you about 80 bucks
