The Winters Ford C4 Shift Linkage Kit 3595 gives you the transmission-side parts needed to connect a Winters Sidewinder cable-operated shifter to a Ford C4 automatic transmission. The linkage arm attaches to the transmission shift shaft, while the cable bracket holds the shifter cable in the correct position so movement at the Sidewinder can properly operate the transmission. This is the kit to use when installing a compatible Winters Sidewinder shifter on a Ford C4, or when replacing missing or worn transmission-side linkage components. Using the correct C4 linkage is important because the position of the cable bracket and linkage arm determines how the shifter's cable movement is transferred to the transmission. When properly installed and adjusted, the shifter should move through the C4's gear positions smoothly without binding or running out of cable travel.

Verify your transmission and Sidewinder shifter configuration before ordering. FAQ What does the Ford C4 linkage kit do? The Sidewinder shifter operates the transmission through a cable. The 3595 kit provides the linkage arm that moves the C4 shift shaft and the bracket that holds the cable in the correct position at the transmission. Why do I need a C4-specific linkage kit? The linkage arm and cable bracket determine how movement at the Sidewinder is transferred to the transmission. The 3595 kit is designed specifically around the Ford C4 so the shifter and transmission can move through their gear positions together. Does the linkage kit work with standard and reverse-pattern Sidewinders? Yes. The 3595 linkage kit is used with the compatible Ford C4 Sidewinder shifters listed above. The shifter and gate configuration determine the shift pattern, while this kit provides the connection between the shifter cable and the C4 transmission. How do I know if the linkage is adjusted correctly? After installation, move the shifter through each gear position and verify that the transmission reaches the corresponding position. The cable should move smoothly without binding, excessive tension, or running out of adjustment at either end of the shift range.
