turbo
Just
went through this last weekend.
Run
a 16 gauge (or better) wire from a 15amp lead on your fuse box to the switch
and then from the switch to the tranny. I bought the B&M switch, but
also had to purchase a throttle bracket to mount it in place. With the
throttle at about 90%, the switch should engage.
Thanks for the picture. I have seen those
switches before just have to think what it was on.
Now do you send Positive down or negative 12
volts to the transmission. My way of thinking is there is already ground there
and when you want it to kick down you send positive down to it.
Don't know????

Was wondering how
you guys hook up the kick down for the 400 turbo. There is no cable and I
here its electric kick down.????
Thank you

I have a TH400 and do not have the kick down
hooked up. You really do not need it. When I have to pass
someone, I manually drop it into 2nd gear. However, if you choose to
hook it up, you will need the bracket and switch that mounts to the gas
pedal. I have a picture of it that I will email to you off list.
The wiring is nothing more than a ground and lead wire running to the switch
on the side of the transmission.
