 On
the automatic transmission Westalia, you have a throttle cable from
pedal to transmission, and then a relay rod from transmission to
throttle body. This relay rod allows you to floor the pedal to
achieve full throttle and then push a little more to engage the kick
down switch on the tranny.
After
converting, your relay rod will not be retrofitted. I replaced the
pedal to tranny cable with a stock new cable, and also ordered a second
throttle cable from a 90 jetta. I cut off the end of relay rod and
fitted it as if stock. The 90 Jetta throttle cable is held in the
hollow end of this relay rod by two set screws I tapped in. With
this arrangement, flooring the pedal engages the kickdown ... there is
no reserve in the pedal to engage kickdown after full throttle.
The second black bracket was ordered from Peter at Tiico, but now having
seen it, I would have just welded it up. The transmission is
tapped already to allow fitting this bracket.
