Re: [AMC-list] M12 to 727 linkage question

[Frank Swygert <farna@xxxxxxx>]

The linkage from the shifter should be fine. You MOST DEFINITELY need the "kick-down" linkage. That controls pressure inside the transmission also. If it's not connected or properly adjusted you'll burn the trans up in a few days running. Lokar makes a cable replacement kit for the linkage. Just get on for a Chrysler (I don't think they list one for AMC), you might have to modidify the engine bracket. Jeep guys use it all the time, some complain that it's a bit short for a body lifted Jeep is all!

Dear eddie,
Hey Eddie, Dumb question for you.  Changing an m12 to a 727 on a 70 amx.
Do I need two linkages?  One for kick down, One for gear shift?
Thanks,
