Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) What is it called

[JStokes]

I put a 47RH transmission behind a Cummins in my Suburban. The motor was originally coupled to a 5 speed but now it has the automatic. I have been playing with the mount for the kickdown and throttle cable and the transmission just doesn't shift like it should. I would like to buy the correct bracket off a motor that was originally automatic to ease my issue. What is this bracket called and where do I get one? Thanks in advance.

The cable is called the throttle valve cable, per Dodge. It changes the line pressure, via the cable, based of off the throttle position.

Also, is the light return spring that is attached to the throttle lever on the trans in place? If it isn't, you will have mushy shifts. Found that out when my spring broke.

Looking at the diagram in my service manual, there is a "throttle valve cable bracket" that bolts to the transmission. The cable loops back on itself, clips into the bracket then runs forward to attach to the throttle valve.

The bracket itself is just a piece of flat stock bent at a right angle and bolted to an ear that sticks out from the flange that the pan is bolted to. There is a square notch cut into the bracket so the square end of the cable sheath can slip into it. In the drawing, it is just called a cable bracket.
