I've tried to keep my switch adjusted and have even opened it up and cleaned the contacts, but it seems to act funky at times (won't always down-shift at W.O.T.). Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Jimjr.
Jim,

To be honest, the exact timing of the switch pitch vs. kickdown is not in the CSM (at least not in my 66 CSM). Let me do a little digging.
