Borg Warner OD kickdown switch

The transmission cover looks great after bead blasting. Is the knockout I’m pointing at the hole for the BW overdrive kickdown switch? If so, I’ll knock it out before painting.



Transmission cover, all nekked...

Knockout for kickdown switch?

I knocked it out, assuming it’s for the kickdown switch, and dropped it off to be powder coated semi-gloss black. Also dropped off the heater parts, which are getting a flat textured black coating. The bezel will be done in grey.

The hole/knockout is used for the A/T kickdown switch, but may also be used for the O/D kickdown. ("F/M" = Fordamatic)

Thanks for the diagram, Ross. It makes sense that they would put a knockout there for both purposes.
