The kickdown switch is located on firewall at the gas pedal linkage above the starter and below the temp sending unit. Remember, its upside down from most diagrams. Essentially, it deactivates the electrics that keep the overdrive working, so it drops back into direct drive. Then you just lift your foot off the gas and it goes back into overdrive. Its a blast!
