kickdown linkage problem
i have a 76 with a 460 and c6 tranny. i recently installed a new oil pump and new valve seals. thought everything was fine. turns out the linkage got fouled up some how. she does not want to shift properly, and i cannot figureout what the problem is. i think the rod might have been bent somehow. please help.

kickdown linkage
the rod is attached to the carb. there semms to be some sticking at the connection. i did try to spray the area with lithium grease. i took her out driving and i had to rev her pretty good to get her to shift. at one point i had her at 50 mph and she seemed to be in her stride, but then she down shifted all of a sudden??? i have a hard time even moving the rod back and forth.

Have you checked the vacuum modulator? If the diaphragm on the modulator is cracked, you'll get oil into the vacuum line and it will fudge up your shifting.
