The mistery of the lack of kickdown has been solved.In about 1971 the 727 had a new control body fitted that provided what crysler called part throttle kickdown. My mk 2 was built in 1971 but has an eatlier box ( probably old stock).mk 3s and latter would have the new control valve. It is possible to have the earlier boxes modified. This is currently being done to my car.
