Why will transmission not downshift to passing gear?
Say what?! Pass gear?? Who pass gear anymore?
What would cause your overdrive switch to not work on a 1995 Mazda Protege when passing a car and the overdrive switch is off it won't automatically shift down to accelerate?
If the overdrive switch is turned off then the car will not go into overdrive. As it is not in overdrive, then it will not downshift out of overdrive as it normally would. It also will not shift to 3rd gear above a certain factory preset speed. Turn th overdrive on and see if it operates normally.
The transmission on a 94 explorer was replaced put it doesn't go into overdrive?
Overdrive is controlled by the shift solenoid, and vacuum modulator. the kick down you refer to is not overdrive but passing gear and should also be controlled by vacuum.
Can a TH-350 transmission operate without a kick down cable?
yes with out the cable connected properly and you are going up a hill it will not go into passing gear. or downshift when needed.
Why Transmission downshifts to 2nd from overdrive intermitily?
You may be overworking the engine and transmission. This can lead to premature failure of the transmission. If your transmission keeps 'downshifting' the safe thing to do is to move the shifter so overdrive does not engage. Downshifting happens when the engine has to work harder: like if you are driving fast into a strong wind, going up a hill, speeding up or passing another vehicle. If you are towing a trailer and it keeps downshifting then use the lower gear of you could overheat and damage your transmission. It could also mean that your engine is getting worn out and you have to 'push it' to maintain speed. Some transmissions downshift when the vacuum in the intake manifold isn't great enough to keep the overdrive mechanism engaged. A week engine means you need to 'step on it more' and opening up the intake by stepping on the gas pedal lowers the vacuum in the manifold.
What causes hard downshift when speeding up to pass?
It's called passing gear. It is normal.

What is the power button on the shifter for?
The power button is a form of overdrive. It drops the transmission one gear down. Handy for passing or entering the freeway when you need a little more power and acceleration.
1988 Chevy pickup 400 tranny after about a half mile truck wont shift gears changed tran mywith used one same thig happens could ther be something else other than tranny?
The turbo 400 uses an electric downshift solenoid to drop it into a lower gear for passing when you floor the gas pedal. Since you changed the transmission and have the exact same problem perhaps the switch that actuates passing gear is stuck and feeding voltage to the downshift solenoid even when you aren't punching the gas pedal. The switch is either mounted on the throttle linkage or under the dashboard by the gas pedal. If you want to see if this is the problem just unhook the wire to the downshift solenoid and drive it to see if the problem is gone. The wire is right behind where the shift linkage bolts to the side of the transmission. You won't have automatic downshift for passing when you punch the gas pedal as long as the wire is unhooked, but if it shifts OK with it unhooked then you'll have isolated the problem and will know what needs to be done to fix it.

If you press the gas pedal down far enough it will downshift into the next lower gear.
