Possible wrong lower kick down rod for my 340/727
OK it has already been determined that I have the wrong swivel up top, a new and correct one has been ordered that is out of the way. The biggest problem that I am facing right now is the fact that even without any of the other kickdown rods connected I cannot connect the lower rod from the lower swivel to the trans lever, lower rod in the bottom hole in the lower swivel. With the trans lever pushed all the way forward and the lower swivel connected to the lower rod it is still about 1" to long to get into the hole on the trans lever and hits on the bottom of the lower swivel mounting bracket that screws into the trans. Look at the pictures, I know they are not the best but you will get the idea. This leaves me thinking that I have the wrong trans lever? maybe the one I have is oriented wrong. Take a look and tell me what you think. The trans lever that I have is 3 1/2" long from back to front where the rod connects.
