[QUOTE="jarance, post: 395082, member: 21"] The kickdown switch is located on the floor just directly behind the fuel pedal. if you press the fuel pedal all the way down, you will see it press a switch. it is silverish in colour if I am not mistaken. normally, when you do a kickdown, the transmission will shift to lower gear. The RPM will rises and keep to the high rpm until you release the fuel pedal. Check the fuel throttle cable and see whether there is any slack or not. Another thing is that the "special clip" at the throttle body tend to break and cause the slag in the throttle cable. Mine was broken and I have tighten it with a small cable tie. Been there for years now and never find time to replace it. [/QUOTE]
