Thanks for keeping an eye on this thread, AJ. I tried tying back the kick down lever, it did nothing at all. I'll try taking down the tailstock next, but I wonder...I've been using Lucas transmission treatment (just a really thick trans fluid) as it leaks down...could that be keeping the...

Hi AJ! Yes, you got it right. Gas pedal cable to bell crank, bellcrank linkage up to carb AND a second linkage back to KD lever. I've already talked to the Postal Jeep guy in Alabama, he has the linkage I need. So I need to tie back the KD lever about halfway through it's travel…why to...

This is just so you understand the setup a little better. The throttle cable pulls on that bell crank, which moves the KD rod backwards (to the right in the pics, toward the firewall) and the throttle rod…I think there's another bell crank, cuz that link moves downward. This setup is just too...

That's the throttle cable. Pulls on that cam which pulls down on the linkage to the carb, while pushing backwards on the kick down linkage. No, it's only 2wd, but automatics scare the daylights out of me. I'll change a filter, but that's about as far as I can take it. As far as the kick down...

Um…it's supposed to go on that stud, isn't it? And the kick down lever is right on top of the shift lever on the left side of the transmission?

Checking the fluid level was the very first thing I did, previous owner did a rebuild and damaged the front seal so I have to keep a close eye on that. It was fine. Reverse works fine, too. Didn't know there was a linkage for throttle position, I'm used to haven a vacuum modulator. I was a...

OK, folks, this is gonna be a little weird. I have a 1973 Jeep DJ5c Postal Jeep. Yeah, I know, there's a Jeep forum, but this is a chrysler-specific problem, so I thought this might be the right place after all. This Jeep was upgraded a bunch of times by the previous owner, so now it has the...
