C4 Kick Down Rod, Carb to Transmision Bracket, 73-77 Ford Bronco SKU: 8415

C4 Automatic Kick Down Rod | Carb to Trans Bracket | 1973–77 Ford Bronco

The C4 Automatic Kick Down Rod runs from the carburetor to the transmission bracket on a 1973–1977 Ford Bronco equipped with the factory 2-barrel carb and C4 automatic transmission. This rod plays a critical role in transmission function—when you step on the throttle, it tells the transmission to downshift for quicker acceleration. If you're using a stock-style 2-barrel carb and your C4 doesn’t seem to kick down properly, this rod is likely missing or improperly set up. Keep in mind: if you’ve swapped in a carb from a manual transmission Bronco, it won’t have the mounting tab for this rod, and you'll need a different carb to make it work.

• Fits 1973–77 Ford Bronco with C4 and 2-barrel carb – Built for the factory automatic setup, no mods needed.

• Restores proper kick-down function – Tells your transmission when to downshift under throttle load for better drivability.

• Critical for performance and safety – Missing or broken rods can lead to sluggish response or improper shifting.

• Stock-style fitment – Designed to match factory specs for a clean, reliable install.

• Carb compatibility note – Non-automatic carbs lack a mounting provision for this rod and may require replacement or modification.

Get your Early Bronco C4 shifting like it should - this kick-down rod restores the link between your throttle and transmission for proper downshifts under load.
