1HDT Rod and cable adjustments

[Jroc561]

Hey all, tightening up something’s and replaced a couple pieces. Can’t find anything regarding the other rod that isn’t the throttle rod that is adjustable. My question is should this be pulling the kickdown at all like any tension?
Replaced the solenoids, cleaned out the NSS but still feel like things can be tighter

Basically the tighter you make the rod(red circle), it pulls the lever back(blue arrow) which in turn tightens/puts a load to the kickdown. Im searching for pics and people either have it tight, spread out, and everything in between. Does it matter? tighten it so it creates some load?

Im sure there would be something about it in the FSM.

I looked a couple times, seriously not one reference. Looked at both engine and chassis.

I just paired it along with the kickdown cable adjustments to get rid of slack.

As far as I'm aware and how i've done it is that top one circled in red is for adjusting the A/C RPM when it cuts in and out. The adjustment for the kickdown cable should be done on the cable itself where the threaded section is.

You're also missing a locknut on that upper adjuster you circled in red, from factory they have a nut on either side of the adjuster.

I would just take the slack out.

The missing lock nut won't matter provided the other one is locked down. The ends can't spin, you just need to stop the rod from spinning.

Do you happen to have the part number for the whole linkage assembly on hand? Mine are a bit worn and sloppy but the pn on partsouq doesn’t come up with any items. Cheers

Hi All,
I've been driving without the rod between the throttle and kickdown so my question is will this cause any issues with kickdown or is it related to A/C RPM like explained above?

Hi All,
If anybody can share a part number for the short rod please, thank you.

Hello All,
Just a quick update. My problem is resolved, while I wait for the above part, I managed to simulate the rod (cable ties) just to test and it solved my flare between 2nd and 3rd. Must say she drives like a dream now, gear changes really good and no more hunting.

Hi everyone , I recently bought a 2000 LC100 series with 1HD-T motor .. I’m having a flare shift between 2-3 and also doesn’t get into O/D at highway speeds —So far I have found several issues in relation to the O/D (4th gear) not engaging…
1) Found that the Engine coolant temp sensor (2wire) was broken at the plastic connector and have replaced it (No change)
2) Thermostat was also stuck open ( Replaced it with OEM) and still no change .

I’m not sure what’s going on at this point or if I’m missing something obvious.

** The O/D button does work on the dash and I’m able to manipulate the accelerator by slight releasing and holding it steady to get the transmission info 4th gear but as soon as I slightly press the accelerator it goes into 3rd instantly ..

Anyone had this issue and can guide me in the right direction I would appreciate it
