Exhaust/Trans Linkage Interface Issues

Is it possible to use the kickdown with a factory setup, or do I need to go all Lokar? I was thinking about cutting/hacking/welding the factory setup, the the Lokar looks MUCH easier to deal with.
I could not figure out how to make the stock linkage work with the TTI stuff. They did include some very sketchy instructions on how to "modify" the linkage, but I could not quite follow it. Plus I just figured it was probably wrong.... like the other part of the instructions that tells you how to modify the console shifter linkage, which was totally unnecessary.

If you go with Lokar be advised you must get both kits... the throttle cable & mounting brackets plus the kickdown cable & brackets. Good luck.
