To add more insight to trans control, I have converted to fuel injection and have the fuel injection TV cable doing the C4 kickdown job with a fabraciated adjustable arm on the trans.
If there is interest in this arm It has to be two piece arrangment with a swing arm added to alow the cable to move with the throttle to near wide open then trip the kickdown function.
As has been said the kickdown is only downshifting the trans to second gear. The kickdown seems to be usefull in those rare times when a split second decision has to be made when caught
in a squeeze out on the road such as passing when a sudden situation makes it manditory to clear the passing lane or !@#$%.
