Can you run a Turbo 350 without a kick down Cable?
So when running a turbo 350 without a kickdown cable, I always thought you could just remove the cable (obviously) and the detent that goes to the valve body and just plug the hole. Then, I had a guy tell me that his tranny guy told him (stick with me here) that you’ll burn up the tranny with no kick down.
What’s the kickdown cable on a GM T-350?
The TH350 still used a vacuum modulator to vary line pressure. The cable is purely kickdown. Thanks Joe. It’s been 20 years since I built my last TH350 and my last GM tranny was a few years ago..it was a ’57 Coupe Deville and that was a pressure control (rod not cable)…..so I extrapolated forward.
Can you run a T350 with no kick down?
I have run T350 with no kick down cable a few times. Just removed the cable and left the little detent thingy that the cable hooks to and drove the piss out of them. Never a problem the cable on a 350 is only for passing gear, it has nothing at all to do with internal working pressure. need passing gear, just pull the shifter down a notch.
How do you hook up a Turbo 400 kickdown?

Is there kickdown cable on a 350 Turbo?
Yeah that cable is kickdown only on a 350 turbo. On the 200r4 and 700r4 it’s the throttle valve cable. Improper adjustment of a tv cable will destroy the transmission. Your cable is like stated above, the button releases the adjustment, push it back, release the button, open the throttle fully and it will self adjust.
