The Winters GM TH400 Shift Linkage Kit 1095 gives you the transmission-side parts needed to connect a Winters Sidewinder cable-operated shifter to a GM TH400 / Turbo-Hydramatic 400 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 properly operates the transmission.

This is the kit to use when installing a compatible Winters shifter on a TH400 or when replacing missing, worn, or damaged transmission-side linkage components. Using the correct TH400-specific linkage is important because the position of the linkage arm and cable bracket determines how shifter cable movement is transferred to the transmission. When properly installed and adjusted, the shifter should move the TH400 through its full gear range without binding, over-travel, or stopping between gear positions.

Includes:

  • (1) Linkage Arm – P/N 1037
  • (1) Cable Bracket – P/N 1036
  • (1) Hardware Kit – P/N 6062

Note: Shifter and push-pull cable are sold separately.

FAQ

What does the TH400 linkage kit do?

The Sidewinder shifter operates the TH400 through a push-pull cable. Kit 1095 provides the linkage arm that moves the transmission shift shaft and the bracket that holds the cable in the correct position at the transmission.

Why do I need a TH400-specific linkage kit?

The shifter cable only moves a certain distance between gear positions. The linkage arm and cable bracket determine how that cable movement is transferred to the TH400. Using the correct linkage helps the shifter and transmission reach each gear position together.

Does Kit 1095 include the Winters Sidewinder shifter or cable?

No. Kit 1095 is the transmission-side linkage kit. The Sidewinder shifter and push-pull cable are sold separately unless they are included as part of another shifter package.

How do I know if the linkage is adjusted correctly?

After installation, move the shifter through every gear position and verify that the TH400 fully reaches the corresponding transmission detent. The cable should operate smoothly without binding, excessive tension, or running out of adjustment at either end of the shift range.

Can incorrect linkage adjustment cause shifting problems?

Yes. If the cable or linkage is adjusted incorrectly, the shifter may appear to be in a gear before the transmission has fully reached that position. Proper adjustment helps prevent incomplete engagement, cable bind, and unnecessary wear on the shifter cable and linkage.

Is there anything special to know about installing this kit on a TH400?

Winters notes that TH400 shift feel may be improved through an additional transmission-side modification involving the detent roller and spring assembly. That procedure requires access inside the transmission and may require draining the fluid and removing the transmission pan. Refer to the appropriate service instructions before performing internal transmission work.
