Transmission kickdown linkage rod to throttle connection

Post by timachone »

Hi guys,

my transmission kickdown linkage rod (C6, 360 FE, OEM Autolite 2V Carb) is very loose and sloppy and rubs against the throttle linkage. Furthermore the clip to the throttle linkage connection is missing and was replaced with a zip tie. Could anybody provide a picture how a proper linkage have to look like with a OEM Autolite 2V Carburetor? Could anybody provide a picture of the clip to throttle connection? The pictures in the original manual is not that detailed and very tiny.

Since I thought that the kickdown rod connection on the throttle linkage and the transmission linkage have to be firm and there are no other guide supports for the rod I have bought a kit which contains 2 bushings, 2 "E"-clips and some kind of grommet for restoring the whole thing...

You would think a photo of that would be all over the internet but this is the best I've found.
