Re: [alfa] No kickdown above 50 MPH

Some day I'll get me a Merkur...

This actually might be a feature of your slushbox - I know my mom's Jag 
(also a Ford box) won't kickdown, to prevent itself from overreving. 
According to FordPowerProducts.com, you have "overspeed downshift 
protection" and a "manual kickdown lever."

Good luck
