Kickdown Cable TH350

The Kickdown Cable TH350 from B and M Automotive is the critical linkage between your throttle pedal and transmission kickdown valve, enabling precise downshift control in TH350 automatic transmissions. This adjustable-length cable assembly is essential for any hot rod, street machine, or performance vehicle where responsive transmission behavior directly impacts drivability and engine efficiency. Whether you're building a carbureted muscle car or retrofitting a modern engine into a classic chassis, a quality kickdown cable ensures your transmission responds to throttle input exactly as engineered.

Constructed with a plastic black housing, this cable features adjustable length capability to accommodate various engine bay configurations and mounting positions without compromising function or durability. The design allows the transmission to receive proper throttle demand signals, triggering downshifts at appropriate RPM thresholds and preventing slippage during acceleration. Correct kickdown cable adjustment is non-negotiable—improper tension can cause delayed downshifts, transmission slip, or premature upshifts that rob performance and increase heat buildup in the transmission fluid. At just 0.68 lbs with compact 5.9 x 2.2 x 18-inch dimensions, the cable integrates cleanly into tight engine bays without requiring extensive fabrication.

Mechanics and enthusiasts building or rebuilding TH350-equipped vehicles will appreciate this cable for its precision fit and reliable engagement across full throttle range. Installation requires correct routing away from heat sources and sharp edges, with final adjustment critical to transmission operation. This OEM-style replacement or upgrade cable is ideal for engine swaps, transmission rebuilds, and performance modifications where factory linkage is unavailable or incompatible with custom engine placement. Proper kickdown cable setup transforms transmission response and ensures your TH350 performs as designed.
