79 c6 tranny kickdown function
my question is: the kickdown function is engaged on this transmission when; the lever is from side view all the way to the right which is the up position. Or is it engaged when from side view the lever is all the way to the left which is level with the shift lingage. thanks for all replies and im newbie to ford eth.

You can feel resistance in the lever when it is pushed in one direction and none in the other.
Resistance means throttle pressure is being applied, which results in a higher shift point and forced kick down.
If it doesn't shift you could have either vacuum or governor problems.
make sure there is good vacuum at the modulator.
If there is good vacuum and the modulator is working then the governor is the next culprit.
