th400 kickdown switch

[tonkatruckon44s]

My 88 suburban has a turbo 400 in it but the kickdown switch isn't hooked up it came factory with a 700r4 which eventually ill put one back in since all the wiring is still there but until i blow up the transmission that's in it i don't want to change it so whats the best way to hook the kickdown switch back up

its electronically controlled and hooked to the gas pedal assembly.

12 volt key hot .

gas pedal switch / bracket . 3 bolt swap out if you have one. fyi check to see if your gas pedel bracket has spot for switch to just add switch . some did have but no switch .

wire down to tranny plug .

bam all done.

So i could just use a toggle switch when i wanted to pass or is buying the kit from b&m worth the money

You could gettofab anything and it would work. Could home brew a momentary switch down on the pedal or off the throttle linkage. Or wire in a push button and put a N2O sticker by it Or pull your gear selector down one.

I'd look for a switch in a boneyard or a factory type replacement.

This is what. I am going to do after I have done some more research on what others have done with oem ones.

Find the factory switch...the wiring is stupid easy.

check summit racing. im pretty sure they sell a universal switch that will come with the instructions on wireing it
