Stainless Chev Turbo 700 Kickdown Cable

A kickdown cable is a mechanical cable that connects the throttle linkage of a carbureted engine to the transmission. It is responsible for actuating the downshift valve in the transmission when the throttle is fully depressed, providing the driver with additional power for acceleration or passing.

As the name suggests, this cable is constructed from stainless steel, which provides durability and resistance to corrosion.

The cable is typically comprised of two parts: the cable housing and the inner cable. The housing is the outer protective covering that encases the inner cable and is attached to the carburetor linkage. The inner cable is the part that connects to the transmission and is responsible for actuating the downshift valve.

A Stainless Steel Kickdown Cable is a popular upgrade over the original equipment cable, as it provides better durability and performance. Additionally, the stainless steel construction can add a custom look to the engine compartment, making it a popular choice among car enthusiasts.

It is important to ensure that the kickdown cable is properly adjusted to ensure smooth shifting and proper operation of the transmission. A malfunctioning or improperly adjusted kickdown cable can lead to transmission damage or failure.
