As some may know, I am new here. Just bought a 70 dart, smallblock car. Plan on a magnum swap in near future. However, I'm new to all of this. I realized the car dosent have kickdown linkage at all. Saw a thread saying this is very bad on the trans. Does this mean if I take off in D (drive) the car is actually in 3rd gear? Can I just manually shift it without the kickdown? Educate me please. And yes, I've searched. Came up with conflicting views.
However, the more I read, sounds like.it's gonna burn the trans up. As of now, seems to drive fine as is. If this isn't ok, I have no idea what's going to need done. Kickdown sounds like a nightmare.to deal with. Starting to miss electronically controlled shifts already. Ugh
Would rather just discuss. Here's the car as well...
