Trans Kickdown Linkage Guru Sought

fishy68, apology accepted. I appreciate all the help and advice I've gotten since my original post. On one hand, it seems the thread has dragged on for too long. On the other hand, it's just taken this long for me to begin to understand and appreciate the complexity and the interaction of the several pieces of the K/D linkage.

Then there is the problem of finding the correct pieces and assembling them correctly, not just for appearance sake but function properly together. I've tried blacksmithing the parts I have on hand and following the Factory Service Manuals as best I can trying to get the system to function as I think it should.

Finally I found a series of four factory drawings that show several variations of K/D linkage with the parts numbered consistently. Then I could compare each of the pictures with the parts on hand and realize that I still don't have the parts needed to assemble even one correct set. I'll stop here and post that illustration. I wish there was a way to post them inside the text rather than just at the end.
