Default gearbox modifications

I refer you to a post started by Paul Robert on 1/5/20 about 3 to 2 part throttle kick down. The modification apparently made by Bristol on later 411 and 412s was to delete this kickdown as being inappropriate for a refined touring car. I first saw mention of this in a 1975 Motor magazine. The Roberts post clearly covers the issues. My 411 didnt have kick down from new but when added vastly improved the drivability of the car.
