400 kickdown - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a recently rebuilt 400 tranny w/o the kickdown hooked up. When I bought the Burb, it wasn't installed, and I had the tranny rebuilt a few months ago. According to what I have read here, the tranny should still kickdown into 2nd gear w/o the kickdown installed & down into 1st with it installed.Well mine doesn't kick down into 2nd gear. Is there something wrong with the tranny that I need to have the shop look at??? It didn't
kick down before the rebuild either.
