PDodson Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 If it is not one thing its another, I have no acceleration pedal, I have no kickdown (only kickdown i have is when it drops below 30mph) but I know on some cars you can just kinda roll on the gas pedal and it accel a little bit....I dont have that! my transmission is rebuilt, shifts all four gears (even goes into OD with and without the button) i know shelby is helping me a little bit but any more help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliConquestAlex Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Perhaps it's the the fluid you are using isn't the correct weight and it's throwing off the valving? Or maybe your rebuild wasn't so stellar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliConquestAlex Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Did you try the search function? http://www.starquest...wn#entry1232592 http://www.starquest...wn#entry1216161 http://www.starquest...own#entry964864 http://www.starquest...own#entry789745 Seems like either the kickdown solenoid or the kickdown switch isn't working properly.

CaliConquestAlex Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) Did u READ those posts that I referenced? They talk about the kickdown solenoid in the tranny or the kickdown switch on the throttle. Have you tested those? I'm trying to help you, but it seems like all you want is a mechanic to fly out and fix it for you.

scott87star Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 My kickdown switch doesn't work and its adjusted all the way out, I suspect it may be your problem too. It's up there on the accel pedal, it's supposed to ground when you push the pedal down far enough but I can mash my foot on it and most of the time it doesn't kick down. I've taken it off twice and it tests OK but like I said in the first sentence, the limited adjustment provided isn't enough. I just haven't gotten aggravated enough to fix it, yet.

Yea I looked at them, and read a few postings I'll get to it eventually, I work nights so I sleep During the day, and when I get up it doesn't involveWorking on cars, It def sounds like the kick down switch, but I justReplaced mine out Omf my other car that had beenSitting, and now I think I have to check the 2 devices On the side of the transmission Thnx for your help CaliAlex Edited October 17, 2013 by PDodson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliConquestAlex Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) A simple continuity test on the pedal switch will be quick and easy and is the most likely cause of your issue. Test continuity with the switch open and closed and you should see a difference. The manual states that the switch can fail internally and lead to continuity being shown when the circuit is open and closed. The next step would be the check the solenoid in the tranny. You can also check the vacuum pressure in the transmission. Edited October 18, 2013 by CaliConquestAlex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 the kick down swt is two swts in one,,just like the stop lamp swt and cruise swt,, one side is normaly open and closed when activated and closed and open when activated notice this is a wot swt ,,most other trans down shifts are controlled by way of the shift modulator, it is vacuum controlled and boost controlled , most people loose the actuateing rod on the rear of the modulator when removeing it cause they do not know to watch for it , with out this rod the trans will not normaly do it's shifts when it is called for the shift modulator works along with the governor to shift the trans when it is supposed to the kick down swt only controls the passing gear at WOT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
