727 lokar kickdown cable installation help needed.
I have cut many a cable housing using only a good sharp pr of electrical side cutters (dykes). just make sure that you don't leave the ends flatened, you can also grind it square. Use a tappered scribe to keep it sqaure.
Cut the cable with a good sharp pr of cable cutters, using on fast cut, so the cable does not end up all frayed.
After final assy put "cable ends" on the cable, so it wont fray. You can get theses ends from a bicycle shop. They usually come with bike brake cables.
On my Lokar set up, I replaced the stingy aluminum trans mout bracket with one I fabed out of a piece of 1.5 in angle iron. The alloy bracket kept bending, and it would throw the adjustment off.
The angle iron dosn't bend.
I also put a spring on the trans kick down lever, on the tranny. The spring is not super strong, just enough to keep it in the forward posistion.
