rsorg Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I changed the trans fluid ,and had noticed the 2 wire plug is in need of a new black rubber boot, keeps on falling off, and the passing gear will not engage when the pedal is mashed down, so after some other advice I drove my car and pulled on the electric kick down switch by the gas pedal and the car went into nuetra(l,and not into passing gear) I am wondering if my switch by the gas pedal needs to be replaced,thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Sounds normal. I put a TH400 in an old truck years ago and thought I would be clever and put the electric kickdown switch on my shifter instead of the gas pedal. The idea was I could activate it with my thumb whenever I wanted to.... well, it did just as you describe. It would send the transmission into 1st gear and somehow remove the sensation of engine braking.. so from the drivers seat it felt like it was in neutral and the engine needed like mega rpm to propel the car. It works great as the factory designed it, but does weird stuff if the engine isn't at full throttle. Turns out that the gas pedal activation was a better idea.
