Direct-fit replacement upper rod swivel clip for 1967-1969 Camaro and Firebird equipped with the Powerglide automatic transmission. This small but critical clip secures the kickdown upper linkage rod to the swivel/pivot, ensuring consistent throttle-to-transmission downshift operation. Made to restore proper linkage retention and alignment, it prevents accidental disengagement and reduces play that can cause delayed or missed downshifts. Durable construction offers long-lasting performance and quick, tool-light installation—an essential part for restoration projects and routine maintenance.
Features:
- Fits 1967-1969 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird with Powerglide automatic transmission.
- Secures the kickdown upper linkage rod to the swivel/pivot to maintain correct downshift operation.
- Durable metal/plated construction resists corrosion and wear for reliable long-term service.
- Restoration-grade direct replacement for worn, broken, or missing factory clips.
- Simple snap-on design for fast installation without special tooling.
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 10-30 minutes
Instructions:
- Park the vehicle on level ground, set parking brake, and ensure the engine is off. Place transmission in Park or Neutral as appropriate.
- Locate the Powerglide kickdown upper rod and swivel/pivot at the throttle linkage/transmission end.
- If an old clip is present, use needle-nose pliers or a flat screwdriver to carefully remove it. Take care not to bend the pivot or damage the rod.
- Clean the rod and swivel area with a rag and apply a small amount of light lubricant to ease assembly.
- Position the upper linkage rod into the swivel/pivot so the groove in the rod aligns with the clip seat.
- Snap the new swivel clip into place over the rod groove until it seats fully on the pivot. Use pliers for a firm, even press if necessary.
- Manually operate the throttle linkage to confirm smooth motion and that the clip retains the rod under movement.
- Recheck after a short test drive and tighten or reseat the clip if any movement is observed.
