Because.....its Fri. night , its 10:30 and I want to know , now.

The modulator and "kick down" function isn't so clear to me.....I wanted to delay the 1-2 shift so I increased modulator tension , to solve that.
Now how all this relates to eliminating downshift / kick down......I have no clue.

Well , you're in luck then, Joe because I'm here in Az.
Find the 3-2 valve and block it so it won't move. 2-3 should work fine with absence of gov. and mod. pressure for downshifts after slowing.

Like Mark said just block the 3-2 downshift valve.
Small valve at bottom right of photo .
I use a piece of 3/16" brake tubing ,about7/8" long , file it for a final fit .
Been doing this for years ,works great .
