Dropped trans off @ trans shop,$750 for full rebuild w/converter,he looked @ converter and said it was a "Loc-up"converter,explained how they work and showed some pics(never really knew the difference),he also said that the deal I always called & heard called the "kic-down" is not a kic-down ! he says it called a throttle sumptin control??? he says that has to be set-up or You will burn up a the trans in 3 mins!!! he says u can leave it un hooked on a 350 turbo and it wont hurt,but it has to b set-up an hooked up on 727,he also said there should of been a return spring on it,but there wasent,I purchased it new from dealer and no 1 other than me has done anything on it other than 2 services @ dealer when new,says 3-4 days so.........going to make some new trans lines and blow out cooler in new radiator,just ordered new trans mount on flea bay from summit for $5 and $5 shipping!!

Thottle valve control, but in lamens terms "kick-down" is fine. grin

Torqueflites gained the lock-up feature around 77 or so.


My 94 has a cable, so the service manual refers to it as the throttle valve cable and yes these and the linkage must be attached and adjusted properly.

The TH400 in my old 84 GMC van used a vacuum modulator valve for the kick-down feature.

yes...there is a spring that keeps the kick-down linkage tight up against mounting pin at the carburetor.

The lever at the trans end of the kickdown rod is called the "pre-load spring." It is not absolutely necessary so long as the kickdown rod is properly adjusted.


Windows- they're what make a van worth owning!
