kickdown rod dilemma - throttle not opening fully SOLVED !!!
Finally got some time before work to check out my linkage. There is no binding when adjusted either for wide open throttle or for full motion on throttle pressure linkage.
I pulled the pan and everything looks good there. There is a little bit of gunk in the pan, but this is the first time having it off since rebuilding the transmission and running 700 miles.
Specs for throttle pressure and line pressure adjustment are good. Here are some pictures.
I'm still thinking it's a fulcrum issue where throttle pressure lever takes a lot less motion than the throttle shaft. I was hoping to stay away from a Lokar cable. Maybe I can can fab up a bracket like Trailbeast. Just have to make my wife's skillet disappear!!
First picture is throttle pressure pin at rest, second is throttle pressure full movement.
