1HDT Rod and cable adjustments (1 Viewer)

[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.
