<div class=""> Note the kickdown can be used to, uh, kick down.
Say you're following slow traffic in top/OD, and you
see a chance to pass coming up; you throw the dash
switch and when it's clear you stomp on the
accelerator pedal, the O/D will disengage and you're
in a lower gear to pass. Doesn't work great--I usually
drop a gear too--but it's doable. Note older cars with
automatics usually have them, rigged to the throttle
linkage.<br clear="none" class="">

Triumphs, and others, also have a beefier accumulator

explained to me Dave Twigger the purpose of
the kickdown switch is to prevent the
overdrive unit being subjected to reverse

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. </p>

I did see someone posted about eliminating
the od switch on the firewall and just
needing to use the switch on the dash . No
more needing to Blip the throttle to
