    Powerglide (turboglide) ?

     



    I'm confused! I'm hooking up my tranny linkage and I can't figure out what a part does. I have an aluminum Powerglide w/ the turbo shaft. where the shifting linkage is..is a small arm w/ a nob off it's side. What the heck is it's purpose? I'm pretty sure I have the right linkage bracket..but there's no spot for the arm on there.

    Someone Please Help

    BIGPAT,

    If it's a powerglide and not a turboglide, that is the kick down arm. Needs a spare rod from the accelerator to it to kick down to low for passing, etc. If it's an old turboglide I got no idea as they didn't have a low gear position on the selector, just a grade retard for going down mountain passes.

    Hope that helps.
