Looking for parts..
I have a 1990 f150 custom 4.9 (300-6) that is mated to a C6 transmision. when i got this truck, i quickly learned that he E4OD wasnt in the truck and that he seller had swapped out the transmission and not old me what he had done, anywho.... I NEED TO FIND A down shift linkage assembly going from the fuel injected intake to the transmission, i have just spent 2 hours looking throughout he web and google and havent come up with anything, I DO KNOW from what i have read, ford did pair up the 4.9 with the C6 but not alot of them were done. does anyone know where i need to look for these parts???? apparently i need from the throtle bracket to the transmision... any and all help is greatly appreciated.
thankyou

Go on eBay and find a lokar aftermarket kickdown for c6. It comes with a bracket for trans and then a bracket you can retro fit onto the throttle linkage easily.
Just lOokup "c6 kickdown" and you'll see what I mean.

I personally hate the transmission kicking down. It always does it when you just want to give it a little gas not rev the motor to the moon. When I did my motor swap I left it off. With the C6 this won't hurt anything. If it was an AOD and he left the tv cable off the trans would be done by now.
i ain't rite

downshift linkage from 87 to 91 with the 4.9 and C-6 will all be the same, and from 92 to 97 should work also.
with that being said, you would probably be better off using a cable setup because you can adjust the sensitivity of the kick-down better with a cable than you can with rods.
