TH400 question

[reddog64]

Does the TH400 have a kickdown...

I'm yankin the th350/203 out this weekend and putting the th400/205 in...

It's been about 5 years since i did the last one...

Kickdown cable?

 

[UPS]

No, it doesn't have a cable.

A 400 uses an electric switch mounted under the accel. pedal.

yeah has a electric plug on the driver side of the tranny . . and usually a switch on the carb or somewhere like that

hmmm...

Cause right now there's a th350 in there... and there's some sort of cable... ( i know what a th350 and 700 look like)
I'll have to get dirty and look closer this weekend...

What are you going to look at, a th400? Don't waste any time studying the TH350, it's a completely different set up.

 

[reddog64]

ok...

Cause when we pulled the small block, i remember unhooking a "cable" that went down to the th350 tranny...
I'm tryign to think where this would go on the th400... and cant seem to think where...
Doesnt teh TH400 just get a vacum hookup?

I've never seen anything but what i thought was the reverse light hookup on the TH400...

 

[nvrenuf]

There is no kickdown cable on the 400, that function is electric. Yes, there is also a vac modulator to control shift points.

 

[reddog64]

so am i going to run into a problem putting the th400 in place of the th350... ?

if i do a search for "kickdown" on autozone with 83 k30 as the vehicle it gives me a solenoid, the resembles the kit... for half the price...
