Way to improvise. I have one, but I think it's still connected to that TH350 I have.

I don't understand why it would be hooked to the gas pedal instead of the carb. Mine was also connected to the gas pedal and I had to cut it (there was no other way of unhooking it.) Still haven't found how it disconnect it from the transmission itself yet.

Why would you cut it? It just slides into the pedal with a clip. The transmission end can be disconnected without droping the pan, but it's easier to do it with the pan off. Once you get the pan off, you'll see where it connects.

I need to replace mine, this was one of the items that was damage when I had the engine swapped and the shop snaked it to close to the exhaust. I found this one on Ebay, lets see how easy it is to install when i order it.

ATP & Doorman make these not bad pricing either. Some have pics & some don't but search your year.

It's a lot easier to deal with when you see how it connects into the transmission, on the bent wire link. The second time to do it is always easier Very Happy
