OT Passat Auto Tranny help

[michael.leach@lmco.com (Leach, Michael)]

If I ever got my Passat running again it will be time to fix the
Transmission....yeah the real fix it a 5 speed but for now I need to get the
kickdown/throttle position circuitry working.  Currently the tranny only
shifts based on speed, which I guess is the default process when it is not
sensing throttle position.  This is actually fine most of the time since the
majority of my driving is Highways...but when I am going 55 at 2500 RPM it
starts to suck

...anyway the car has the updated throttle body and I have not yet done much
to determine the problem.  Is the lack of kickdown the same problem as the
inability to shift according to throttle position?

thanks for the help
