As explained to me Dave Twigger the purpose of the kickdown switch is to
prevent the overdrive unit being subjected to reverse torque which it is
not designed to handle.
As I understand it, if the overdrive is treated with respect, and the
clutch is used during disengagement there will be no problems but, if you
flip the switch off when cruising at high speed without using the clutch to
minimize the reverse loading on the overdrive, the planetary gear assembly
can be severly damaged.
The kickdown switch prevents this.
