<VV> Powerglide Kickdown

[Frank DuVal]

Weird. I answered this last night, shows sent in my computer, but it has 
not posted. Lucky, as I left out the back off 5 turns part. OOps.

Copy/paste from 61 shop manual, seems same as assembly manual already 
posted:

Accelerator Control Linkage Adjustments
(See figs. 9-7 and 9-8).
1. Disconnect swivel "D" from lever "A."
2. Disconnect swivel "B" from the left carburetor
cross shaft lever "E."
3. Pull accelerator rod "C" to wide open throttle
(through detent) and turn lever "E" to wide open
throttle position (carburetor throttle lever against
the stop). Adjust swivel "B" to align with hole in
lever "E," then lengthen accelerator rod "c" by
backing off swivel five full turns.
NOTE: With this adjustment the transmission
is in detent position when the carburetor is in
wide open throttle position.
4. Position accelerator pedal 1" from floor mat (3-
speed) or 1%" from floor mat (automatic) by
placing a block of wood between pedal and floor
mat.
5. Hold lever "A" in wide open throttle position
(through detent) turn swivel "0" to align with
hole in lever "A."

>> I am working on a 1965 Powerglide convertible.  After the trans was redone by the Ranch, the car does not have a kickdown gear regardless of throttle position.  The Ranch tells me the valve adjustment (using the special tool) inside the trans is correct.  I believe them.  Under light throttle it shifts from low to high at about 15-18 MPH.  Any tips or davice about how to adjust the rod from the gas pedal to the lever on the side of the trans?  Any assistance greatly apricated.  Thanks.
