And yes, you can modify the trans linkage with LOKAR. Need some more detailed photos when you can and try and ID the trans. The plate on the main case will ID it.
Kultulz, Does the LOKAR cable (I'm assuming it is cable) have the exact same geometry as the factory linkage? If this is a '56 trans, as mentioned, the throttle linkage is what determines throttle pressure, which in turn determines line pressure and, (combined with governor pressure) shift points. Too little pressure leads to too early shifts and lets clutches and bands slip and burn. Too much pressure, and shift points will be too high and harsh. Better to have a smooth trans than chrome bling, in my opinion!
