well i knew something whuold go wronge during the 700r-th350 swap, but i never guess it whould be this, i spent 50 @#^ing dollars for a universal b&m detent cable for a th350 and it doesnt fit! the part the connects inside the transmission pan is different. the one that was on the 350 was sorta a s looking this that hooked into the hole, the b&m cable just has a hole, but they didnt give me a clip or anything?!? i know im gona have to ghetto rig it in there but i wana do it the best possible way, any ideas?

 

Get a cable for an 83 Monte Carlo SS from GM and skip the universal stuff. That'd be my recommendation. Maybe someone with more time spent w/ a B&M cable will pipe up though.

 

well basicly i have some ideas, i just dont know if there dumb or not,
1) steel rivits
2) twist tie? lol
3) metal wire
4) tiny little nut and bolt

or maby i can buy the clip that b&m should hav given me?

 

What you're really after is the kick down cable for passing correct? The best thing to do is go to a GM dealership and buy one. That's what I did when I put my turbo 350 in. Cost was cheaper thatn the B+M unit and it waws made for the trans. Also, if the trans is modified at all get one of those adjustable vacumn modulators so you can asjust the shift point.

 

What do you mean by its missing a part? There is a piece inside the trans that you hook the cable too. The cable has an eyelet on the end that connects to the trans. You put the eyelet over the little "s" shaped piece that sits in the hole on the trans, and bolt it down. What part is this cable missing?
