The cable should be removed with the trans. If you try to install it without easy access to the throttle end of it, you'll likely never get it right. What you need to do now is remove the kickdown cable completely. You'll have the trans mount lowered to do this. (A 2x4 wedged between the trans and tunnel now can help keep enough room to do the entire operation) Take the cable and fish it over top of the trans so that you have the throttle end near the shift linkage and neutral safety switch and the trans end nearby ready to be installed into the trans. On the throttle end push the cable all of the way in. At full extension of the cable (protruding on the trans side) there is a detent that will hold the cable at full extension. The detent doesn't hold with very much pressure. In the trans there is a little hooked finger, position it upright and centered in the hole the cable goes into. Now make sure your oring is secure on the cable. At this point you are ready to install the cable into the trans. Very carefully of course as the detent will trip with the slightest mis-step and you need to reset it if it does. After you have sucessfully gotten the cable end over the hook you can tell if you have it right as you can pull on the throttle end of the cable and you will feel the spring pressure that is attached to the little hook inside the trans. You will likely have several attempts to accomplish this so you should actually be able to tell when the spring pressure is there relative to the several attempts where it isn't. Do not attempt to pull the hook up out of the trans and attach it to the cable, it's infinitely more difficult to do it that way. With the hook centered in the hole and the cable at it's detent the connection of the two wants to happen, and once it does it will not come un-done unless you extend the cable to it's detent again. If you have gotten this far you're essentially home. Clip the cable to the trans at the case and at the top of the vacuum box. Attach the vacuum line to the cable. Then attach the cable back to the throttle linkage
