Does a fmx have a trans kick down cable? When I get on the gas, The car bogs down. It does'nt seem to down shift to give it some go. Please help:1zhelp: :angryfi:

Mine has a kickdown, it's a metal arm that comes up and attaches to carb linkage. Maybe your arm was removed or something.

kick down cable

where does it attach to the tranny?

FMX kickdown

You have a drive linkage and a kickdown linkage next to each other on driver side if you only see one arm the other is snaped off you have trouble.Their should be two arms one to connect drive linkage other to connect kickdown linkage.Check your shop manual it should show a photo.I wish I could help you more. steelcat 70 XR7 ragtop

Thanks for the pictures, Im going under the car today to take a look. I hope the bracket is on the tranny, This car has been a pile of s**t so the bracket should be broken.lol. Well surprise, no bracket! I wen't under the car and only found the shifter bracket. No other bracket is on that tranny.:angryfi: This car needs to go bye bye!!!!

hey point break, If you need the lever, I can take my spare apart and send you it for a large fee,lol.

Rick

Or send me the car and I will take it off your hands for you.

but heres the thing, if he wants to get rid of the car, another one of us may get a project for cheap........ too bad im only looking for a 4 spd car at the moment he he he. in either case i would start to look at the local junkyards and find the downshift lever. im sure that there is a MUstang or Cougar at one of them around there. or just hit up one of these guys for their spare parts.

 

[pointbreak49]

If I find a fmx in a junkyard, Can I just unbolt the arm without taking the valvebody out?

 

[cmpcpro]

I don't have the arm on my FMX either, and it downshifts just fine.
