A/T Trans. Rod Ext. Kit - 5/16in Mopar

The A/T Trans. Rod Ext. Kit - 5/16in Mopar by Edelbrock is a precision transmission linkage extension designed for carburetor-equipped vehicles requiring kickdown adjustment or extended rod routing. This component solves a common challenge faced by hot rodders, engine swappers, and restoration enthusiasts: bridging the distance between a carburetor throttle body and transmission kickdown lever when standard linkage falls short. Whether you're installing a modern four-barrel carb on a classic Mopar or relocating engine bay components, this rod extension ensures proper throttle-to-transmission communication without binding or misalignment.

Constructed from durable steel with a zinc oxide finish, the A/T Trans. Rod Ext. Kit features a 5/16-inch rod diameter compatible with Mopar transmission linkage systems and Edelbrock carburetor components. The zinc coating provides corrosion resistance critical for under-hood longevity, preventing rust formation in high-temperature and moisture-prone engine compartments. At just 0.07 lbs and measuring 5.75 x 1.15 x 9.45 inches, this lightweight extension integrates seamlessly into existing linkage without adding measurable mass or complexity. The rod geometry maintains proper kickdown geometry to ensure firm downshifts during acceleration while preventing transmission hunting or premature shift points.

Mechanics and vehicle builders working with Mopar A/T transmissions—particularly those upgrading to Edelbrock carburetor systems—will find this extension indispensable for custom intake manifold or engine swap applications. Installation requires basic hand tools and takes minutes once the carburetor and transmission linkage are accessible. Verify your specific transmission type and linkage pivot points before ordering to ensure the 5/16-inch rod diameter matches your existing hardware. This kit is sold individually, so verify linkage configuration if your vehicle requires multiple extensions or complex routing paths.
