Trans Kick Down

Can anyone tell me what causes the transmission to kick down a gear?
Or, in my case, not to kick down?
E40D with a shift kit (not sure who's) when you rest the go pedal flat on the floor, it just accelerates, it doesn't downshift.
Is there a connection on the injector pump I am missing? I know a TH400 has a cable on the carb, but not sure how the electrical needs to be connected on this trans/engine.

Thanks

Transmission controller reads the throttle position sensor on the IP.
