just put a 340 in my 69 cuda with a TCI trans 904 was wondering if kick down linkage was required for trans to operate properly I would prefer to down shift manually

fish lover, please don't "down ****" in your car!
DON'T even move it without the kickdown hooked up unless it has a manual reverse shift valve body
Must have a kick down and set it correctly, low pressure will eat up clutches ... look up a utube video and learn all about it

TCI tranns 904???
Do you mean a 904 with a TCI torque converter? Or a TCI 904? I'm asking this cuz if it's a special transmission it could possibly have a special shift kit in it? If not you can get a transgo stage 3 shift kit and have a full manual shift without buying a special valve body. In that case you just pin the kickdown linkage wide open down on the transmission and you don't need any cables or linkage for kick down. But as stated don't move the car 2in without either having your linkage properly adjusted or what I said.

It's too bad TCI isn't involved in that question.

Be careful and make sure the transmission fluid is up to good levels before you move the vehicle one inch. As in I've heard of people pushing the car out to break in the motor and then putting it in reverse low on fluid to put it back in the garage and burning out the transmission. That's not personal experience that's just what I've heard. But it convinced me LOL.

By the way welcome to the Forum and all that.
I think the only thing you can do to invalidate the warranty on that transmission is 1 be too low or too full on fluid or actually number one should be not having that pressure regulator valve adjusted properly!

thanks haven't moved it yet TCI says to put 1 gallon in jack up rear end and go thru gears pouring in the remaining 2 gallons as fast as it will take it.Ordered the linkage from Classic Industries last night should have by the weekend I hope.
