Linkage set up and kick down for c6

Have a 390’fe c6 transmission. Does a cotter pin go on kick down arm and linkage? I changed rear main and had to pull trans didn’t take a picture of linkage before I disassembled (learning experience) just need help on how the setup is so I can hook back up. Thanks a picture would help or explanation on where e clamp goes too.

It should take the little C-clips, like 97409-s in the diagram.

Depending on year it may have one of those clips that locks in place.

Right, a little spring loaded clip on both ends on the kickdown rod itself and conventional C clips on the rest of the linkage
You should be able to get those little clips still
Same ones were used on GM products for years and years too IIRR
