Title: Trimatic detent cable? Help? Post by: Damon on September 26, 2002, 09:28:13 AM I was wondering if some of you guys running red motors and trimatics could share a little info on your detent setup?
I have got the accelerator and gear change sorted out nicely but don't have enough room on the firewall for the original cable HG set up that I had planned to use. The accelerator set up that I have is a similar type to the original, (bent rod). My engine/ auto set up came from an '71 HG. I have been told that I could use an early commodore auto which apparently have an electric kickdown switch under the accelerator pedal? Has anyone done this, and from what model commodore? I would appreciate any comments from anyone with a cable or electric kickdown set up, as this is the last hurdle that i have before painting, (I hope)! :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/Thanks, Damon :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ Title: Re: Trimatic detent cable?

Early model commodore trimatics have the selector shaft coming out of the left hand side and HG trimatics right hand side. I have used a HQ-HZ trimatic with the accelerator and electric kickdown switch assembly. Hope this helps Regards ACE 8) Title: Re: Trimatic detent cable? Help?

Does your selector sit on the drivers side or the passengers side? I am assuming that the HQ-HZ trimatic is the same phisical size? I currently don't have a lot of room between the modified tunnel and the HG unit. Also do you know if the yolk is the same size/spline? Thanks Damon. |
