Kick-Down - how does it work?
Kick-Down - how does it work?
I'm currently scratching my head a little, as the kick-down doesn't work. Well, I'm actually just in the process of fitting the KD/Klima relais. The thing I'm wondering about it this valve (Y3) that I can't find...
The gasser transmission had two vacuume connections. The OM603 turbo transmission has only 1. I can't remember any valve, other than the overboost protection valve (deleted now).
So - where does this ominous Y3 valve go and what does it do?? I have no left-over vacuume connections. Or other connectors on the gearbox (722.357).
OM603.960 from '90. With the blue flying saucer vacuume amplifier.
Thanks for any input!

The valve on the controll cable is for kick-down switch off ('E' mode) on gassers only.

Current for the solenoid passes through the kick-down relais which cuts off current if engine revs are too high and the engine would over-rev in kick-down. Pretty simple.

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
