The automatic kickdown cable links the carburetor throttle movement to the kickdown lever on the automatic transmission. On a 1966-1968 Mustang with a C4 transmission and 289 or 302 V8, this cable helps trigger a mechanical downshift when the throttle is opened quickly, such as during passing or acceleration.
Replacing a failed, aging, stretched, damaged, sticking, missing, or incorrect kickdown cable helps restore original transmission response and drivability. With OE-spec replacement design, this kit is a practical component for classic Mustang automatic transmission service and restoration.
