No. It has a solenoid, no cable or rod. It drops a gear under heavy acceleration from a signal from TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) to TCM Transmission Control Module)
kick down cable
The transmission shifting is late because the kick-down cable needs to be adjusted. The kick-down cable is usually found on the throttle lever with the throttle cable.
If the suburban is equipped with the 4l60E automatic transmission then the throttle position sensor acts electronically as a "kickdown cable". The only cables on the throttle should be for the accelerator pedal and cruise control, if equipped.
If you mean a Kick down cable you will ruin your transmission as the Kick down cable was only used by most manufacturers in the 1950s and 60s. Later cars had a system where the cable everyone called the Kick down was actually a throttle position cable and controlled the transmission internals to prevent slipping and controls how harsh the shifts are.
no
Shorten the kickdown cable to make the transmission kick down into a lower gear sooner. Lengthen the cable to make the transmission shift down later or at a lower power setting.
It is the kick-down cable that runs from the throttle body to the transmission.
kick down cable is stuck
This is not a "kick-down" cable per my tranny mechanic. This cable goes to a transmission fluid pressure valve and will burn up your transmission if not changed immediately....
kick down cable is out of adjustment from pedal to transmission.
To change the automatic transmission kick-down cable on a 1992 Geo Tracker, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Then, remove the kick-down cable from the throttle linkage under the hood by detaching the retaining clips. Next, locate the transmission end of the cable, usually found at the transmission body, and disconnect it. Finally, install the new cable by reversing the removal steps and ensure it is properly adjusted for optimal performance.
The transmission won't downshift when you press hard on the accellerator.
