kickdown switch?

[borgitsu]

when im in full stop and i press the gas pedal until it reaches the kikcdown switch and i dont release it until it reches the redline, my car goes into limp mode. is this normal?

I would say no, and I suggest getting the car scanned for codes.

but this only happens when i dont release my foot on the switch. but if u just floor it without tapping the thing, it shifts really smooth. i noticed this when my tachy reaches the redline.

This is normal, as the ECU will communicate with the EGS and basically its a failsafe mode so that you dont wreck the engine or box!

Why would you want to do this ???

i was just wondering if its meant to do that.. so if i dont release my foot on the switch, my rpm will go redline and my tranny will go into failsafe mode?
