Re: 21st series R9 overdrive kick down switch

IIRC, the pad or part of the accelerator linkage which is supposed to hit the plunger was bent on this car and not making contact. I believe the bent part was straightened and all was made to work. As far as travel, there is a bit of touch and go adjusting one of the link adjustments for a bit more travel in one area and shortening the other one so the carb still has full range.

Does your friend have an EC? If the arm on the accelerator switch is being pushed toward the firewall and not the engine, the EC will work but when lever hits the firewall it will not allow enough continued travel for the kickdown switch.
