Adjusting kickdown switch

Fella's,
Is it possible to adjust the kickdown switch (W210) under the accelerator pedal so that it 'kicks in' a bit higher instead of having to floor it??

Thanks!

Install a toggle switch wired in parallel to the kick down switch. You can have full control of the kick down solenoid. it will active the full throttle kick down shift strategy sooner. , enhancing the performance of the car.

Actually I like the idea of a second switch. Just get a foot highbeam switch form an old car in a junk yard. It gives you something to do with your left foot.
