I'll do that the week after next. I'm curious to see if there's an improvement also. I spoke with one of the techs at the tranny shop we send our work trucks to. He informed me that driving a vehicle with the kickdown disconnected can damage the tranny. I didn't know this. He told me without the kickdown the tranny gets overloaded when accelerating at higher speeds, going up hills etc. It will also cause the vehicle to use more fuel. So, with that, I made an appointment to have it serviced next Wed. I wont drive it again until I take it in just to be safe.
