"Kickdown" is such a lousy name. It is really a variable line pressure mechanism. The more throttle you give it the more it increases the line pressure for the clutches to be pressed together harder. Without this line pressure increase under load, the clutches slip and burn up. The "remedy" is a rebuilt transmission.
