904 Kickdown linkage

KJoeZ61 said

There is no way I can make it any longer, not even a quarter of an inch. If I go any longer it won't fit on the throttle linkage without binding. The first picture shows it resting without the spring. Second picture shows throttle floored the the kick down as far back as it will go.

In the second picture you need to screw the end on to the rod so that you have a quarter inch of free travel at wide open throttle with the linkage all the way back.
In the first picture it does not matter where that linkage sets once you put the spring on it it will pull it Forward against the pin. The purpose for that long slot is so that if your kickdown linkage binds your throttle can return to idle. What counts is at wide open throttle you have a quarter inch or so of play to keep from bottoming out the kickdown. You do not need to extend that rod in the second picture you need to screw the end on so it slides over that throttle pin.
