hi guys i have a n/a automatic, just been for a quick drive needed some fuel, i have not used the car since santapod which was 4th of october so i wanted to take it out for that reason too.

 

the problem i got is when i want to put my foot down sometimes it responds really good and the kick down throws you back, but i noticed it is not like it all the time.

 

is this normal or is there a fault there somewhere?? during the time not being used all i have fitted is some samco vaccum hoses but not sure if this would affect this.

Kick down is activated by an electronic switch that is triggered by the back of the throttle peddle when it hits the "floor". It is supposed to drop the box into lower gears. Check what John has selected first. The little carpet hook supplied with stock mats is essential to stop carpet creep especially in an auto.
