C6 Automatic Transmission Only:
Check adjustment of transmission kickdown linkage. Refer to Figures 2 and 3. Adjust kickdown rod as follows:
a.
Attach 6 lb. weight to transmission kickdown lever.
b.
Rotate throttle to wide open position, c. Insert a 0.060 +/- 0.005 inch spacer between the throttle lever and adjusting screw on the fuel injection
pump kickdown lever. If less than 0.060 inch clearance is observed, back off the adjusting screw.
d.
Rotate the adjusting screw until contact is made between the screw and the 0.060 inch spacer.
e.
Remove the 0.060 inch spacer.
f.
Check the gap after the spacer is removed. A gap of 0.010 to 0.070 inch is acceptable.
g.
Remove the 6 lb. weight. If the kickdown linkage is out of adjustment, full throttle transmission up-shifts at low engine RPM can result. This
would not allow maximum engine RPM and power. Also, the transmission may kick down too quickly, have delayed up-shifts, or no high
speed kickdowns if misadjusted.
