A/T Trans. Rod Ext. Kit - 1/4in Mopar

The Edelbrock A/T Transmission Rod Extension Kit with 1/4-inch rod for Mopar applications is a precision linkage component engineered to extend the kickdown rod assembly on automatic transmissions. This steel extension, finished in zinc oxide for corrosion resistance, provides the additional reach required when installing aftermarket carburetors, intake manifolds, or transmission control linkage modifications on Mopar engine platforms. Whether you're rebuilding a classic muscle car or fine-tuning a performance hot rod, this transmission kickdown extension maintains proper throttle valve engagement across the full acceleration range.

Built from steel stock and zinc oxide-plated for durability, the 1/4-inch rod diameter matches OEM Mopar linkage standards, ensuring secure fitment without modification. The compact 5.1-inch length bridges the gap created by component repositioning, while the minimal 0.08-pound weight adds negligible system load. Proper kickdown linkage adjustment is critical for automatic transmission shift timing and downshift responsiveness—this extension kit allows builders to maintain correct geometry after carburetor or intake swaps without fabricating custom linkage from scratch. The zinc oxide finish resists surface oxidation better than bare steel, important in humid storage conditions or high-heat engine compartments.

This kit addresses a common challenge for engine builders and restorers working on Mopar platforms. Original linkage geometry often becomes impossible to maintain when upgrading carburetor mounting points or intake manifold height. Builders frequently encounter kickdown rod length mismatches that prevent full throttle valve travel, resulting in sluggish downshifts and poor transmission response under acceleration. The Edelbrock solution eliminates fabrication costs and fitment guesswork by providing a matched 1/4-inch rod extension that preserves OEM quality and reliability. Popular across small-block and big-block Mopar engine swaps, this component is essential inventory for restoration shops and performance builders standardizing on Edelbrock carburetor platforms.
