TH375 Wont kick down when accelerating

[GUITAR1989]

Hey guys my th375 wont kick down when I stomp on it. How should I go about tracking down the problem?

when I had that problem, I found my kick down cable on the carb needed to be adjusted.

I believe the TH375 is an electric/switch operated and adjustment is under the dash.  There is a thread on this, search TH400 Kick down and you should pull it up.

thanks alot man I must have skipped over that one when I looked earlier. Thars just what I needed to see. If I recall correctly my truck doesnt even have one of those switches on it. hmm this is gonna be a pain since I dont know how the switch links up to cause the tranny to kick down or have one on there to look at and find out. thanks for the help man I gotta go try and figure this thing out

Assuming your truck originally came with a TH350 that would make sense.  Going to a TH375 is a logical step up without having to change the drive shaft yoke.  I don't know if they make kits, you may have to find a donor truck in a salvage yard to get the wiring from the trans to the switch on the go pedal.
