[DML] Re: Full Throttle Microswitch Wanted!!!!

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxxxxx>]

I assume yours is missing completely? The OEM for automatics is a 
stack of two switches - and they are EXPENSIVE. At least I think so 
for what they do. (5 speeds have just one switch)

One of the two "stacked" switches on the automatic is a "kick-down" 
for the transmission that I believe is unnecessary. The kick-down 
from throttle position is, in my opinion, adequate and the electric 
kick-down can cause severe shifting patterns - eg three to first 
shifts, etc. The other is the full throttle enrichment (FTE). The 
FTE on a five speed is effective. Also on an automatic without the 
kick-down switch the FTE is effective. But, I doubt if you would 
ever know it was on the car with an automatic and the kickdown 
switch is functioning - at full throttle the RPM is very high and on 
the down side of the torque curve.

My point? - If you find one I would recommend just the FTE.
