727 throttle pressure adjustment

General rules for the kickdown.... When the throttle is at rest, the lever on the trans should be all the way forward. Also, when the throttle is at WOT, the lever on the trans should be all the way back. The two should move simaltaneously. The spring on the top end should be tight enough to hold the linkage against the pin on the carb lever. The spring should be loose enough to allow the throttle to close even if the linkage jams.

Other than that, there is an adjustment on the valvebody which takes a special tool to set. I do not have the measurement handy, nor do I have a tool.

Kickdown location relative to the pedal position is determined by ground speed, engine speed and load. You should not, nor can you easily, set it to occur at a particular pedal position. If you can, its pure luck.
