Pretty easy to make.

`What I did, holes are 5/16" diameter, maybe 1" apart .... measure to get length to have the kick down bottomed at WOT. If you get the 1483 kit, it'll work like qa charm as that kit only get's moved by the throttle near 1/2 - full. Towards idle the throttle leaves the KD linkage so no chance of throttle being hung open any and besides, no need for KD at low throttle.

I got so sick of messing with mine and having it downshift when I didnt want it to I just did away with mine. If I need it to drop down into 2nd to pass someone now I just shift it into 2nd myself lol
