66 Tbird with C6. My throttle linkage and kickdown are all removed right now. I'm just about to order a Lokar or equivalent cable system, and got to thinking about the kick down. I'm 99.9% sure that the kickdown rod needs to be pushed down towards the transmission to down shift it. All the cable systems are set up to pull up, and I'm having a hard time envisioning it. Am I wrong, or are all the products on the market wrong?? Thanks for your help. Dan

If I remember right, the kickdown lever at the transmission will either pull with the cable approaching from the rear/bottom or need to be flipped upside down to pull from the front/top. Just whichever combo gives you clearance and rotates the shaft (again, if I remember correctly) counterclockwise for kickdown.

Someone on a pickup truck site was dealing with similar issue and Lokar brackets for throttle on a Edelbrock carb set up. The old rod needed to be pushed. I'm not familiar at all with what it looks like on the transmission side, but if the arm on it can be reverse for a pull action then a cable could be use.
