    Look for 94 3100 TB's. Steal the linkage shaft and swap in. Mine had a spot for a kick down cable...

        no, 3100 1994 4T60-E car. But the TB has a place for a kick down... Like when the TB opens, it would PULL a cable instead of a cable pulling the TB open....



        Look at that, see the top part, where a cable would go, then be rotated forward pulling the cable when the throttle cables pulled the bottom. Most early 3100 TB's have this linkage shaft.

        But not all brackets have a spot for the cable. Mine didn't, but I've seen I think even 97 grand am's have the linkage bracket with the spot cut out to hold the kick down cable...

        Just go to a junkyard with a lot of 3100's and look around. I'm sure this would work.

        If not some people use a throttle box from an old grand am auto LO Quad, but those I think are rare and a pain to hook up.

            weak? It's square tube and welded... Not the ricer crap with heim joints that doesn't do anything... It made a huge difference...
