No kickdown linkage?

JMO, but I have a full manual transmission in one car, and it shifts very hard. Plus, trying to shift it with a column shifter, will probably have you over shifting into the next gear. I think you will want a ratchet shifter soon. My full manual transmission split the low reverse servo piston in half. I went with a billet replacement. My Dart is a column shift with the kick down hooked up. Has a shift kit too. I like it. It depends on how you like to drive.
