hurst quarter stick install

[birdieracing]

Got installed my new quarter stick but i have to run the shifter cable
any advise on were to drill the hole in floor pan, does the cable run
over top of the trans and around by starter or is there a better way
or any pics of ya'll ride would be great

I use a quarter stick in my Duster. I ran the cable under the carpet and drilled a hole in the firewall. Right where the trans-hump meets the firewall at about 10 o'clock. I've got a 440 with fenderwell-exit headers, so the cable just stays next to the trans and curves under the car. The cable action is butter this way.

Pretty similar to what I did with my 360/904 combo. Drilled the hole in the same spot you mentioned but my cable makes a left and does loop back over the starter for a straight shot to the tranny bracket

thanks for the input guys got everything installed and drill hole in
floor pan and wrap the cable over top of trans and down by starter

Just make sure you keep that cable away from hot things like headers.
I melted mine in 5 seconds flat.
Tie wrap it down!

Do i need to hook up the detent or kick down linkage or will it matter
keep in mind most of the driving will be only a quarter mile at a time

I have my 727 setup with a manual valvebody and no kickdown linkage. I'm pretty sure ff you have an automatic valvebody, you'll need the kickdown linkage.

if that is so should i alter the bracket the rub together
the trans is 904

 

[rumblefish360]

the rub together

If you can not make the stock kickdown linkage work, you'll need to get a cable to move it.
I think there was a member here that has something nice. I had allready did a Lokar set up.

If your running a stock valve body (or even one with a shift kit) you definetly need the kickdown linkage hooked up or it won't shift right and you will burn up the transmission. Altering the bracket so the 2 move together won't work either. The "kickdown" is really throttle pressure input to the transmission that regulates pressure to the valve body which works in conjunction with the governor pressure to time the shift points and it also regulates pressure to the clutch packs which will affect shift firmness.

The only time you don't need the kickdown hooked up is when your running a aftermarket manual valve body.
