No shift arm assembly c6 trans


hello all just looking for some advice on my c6 transmission. I currently bought a Lokar c4/c6 kickdown cable to enable my passing gear and looking at the instructions noticed my transmission does not have a shift arm assembly. Can someone tell me what I need to buy in order to hook up the kickdown cable. Here is a pic of my current transmission where the kickdown cable would hook up

Upper picture: The NSS (7A247) attaches to the manual control selector lever (7A256) aka shift arm. If it wasn't there, there would be no place to install the NSS

So is it possible to just hook the kickdown lever downr using the same bolt that holds down the NSS?

I need to post another pic that shows where the kickdown rod attached. What size is the engine?

the original owner must have taken the lever off because mine does not have one but I have seen pictures where a lokar kick down cable has been installed with the kickdown level secured with the same bolt that secures the nss

That nut does not secure the NSS. The NSS is secured by the two small bolts on either side of it. That nut does secure the kickdown lever. I think the shaft has two flats on it. It's a shaft in a shaft, the inner one is the kickdown, the outer one is the shifter.

Kickdown rod is 7A187. If the OP had a 302, the pic shows the rod attaching to a stud on the manual control selector lever.

In this pic, it shows the stud, but what part contains it?
