c4 kickdown cable setup?

[citykid]

I have everything bolted up just need to know to how to adjust cable tension. Tight not tight?

It should be fully engaged when you are at full throttle.

I used this video to adjust mine. Took only minor tweeks after to get it where I wanted it.

As far as I know the C4 has a kickdown rod not cable.

I believe you are correct. The rod pushes down toward the rear of the vehicle. The cable would pull it towards the front. Just hooked one up today to my edelbrock 4 barrel.

BC Bronco's makes a kit for EFI throttle cable and C4 kickdown cable. I installed them on a customers Bronco this month. Both cables could have been a little longer to make routing easier and cleaner looking, they do seem to work.

The C4 cable isn't in the pic yet, I guess I didn't get a finished pic of it.

I want to be clear on what you were saying.

When you go full throttle, should the kickdown lever on the actual transmission go towards the front or towards the rear of the vehicle to engage.

It depends on the position of the kick down on the transmission. One the BC Broncos one, the cable comes in from the top towards the rear. It bolts on to the servo with a little tab from one of the corner bolts. In its case, it pulls the lever up and back. With this kit, it does come with a different lever. The factory one pushed down and back with the lockdown rod. The lever is spring loaded and will only go one way and should return to its normal position on its own.

Hey Spare parts.
I know this post is old but I’m researching the BC kickdown cable. I have installed but have not been able to figure out how to mount bracket to transmission. Do you have any pics? The ones that came with it are terrible. Thanks

This is how my Lokar mounts. Maybe it's similar?

I don’t…. I’ve done so many customer installs since then I would have to dig back in my files to even figure out what customers rig I was working on back then.
