Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC4854 kickdown cable do?
The RTC4854 kickdown cable links the throttle to the automatic gearbox, relaying throttle position so the transmission times its shift points and forces a downshift, the kickdown, when you open the throttle fully. It fits the V8 petrol engine with automatic transmission.
Which Land Rovers use this V8 kickdown cable?
This kickdown cable fits V8 petrol automatics only: the Land Rover Defender (1987 to 2006), Range Rover Classic (1986 to 1994) and Discovery 1 (VIN FA393361 to WA799999). Manual gearbox and non V8 models don't use it.
What are the signs of a failing kickdown cable?
A failing kickdown cable typically causes wrong or delayed shift points, harsh changes, or no kickdown when the throttle is floored. A stretched or seized cable is usually the cause, and correct adjustment after fitting is needed for the gearbox to shift properly.
