The kickdown isn't working. I swapped KLIMA's from another car (since the kickdown goes through the KLIMA on the 124.1xx) with no change. I measured the resistance of the kickdown solenoid coil at the tranny on the "good" car, it was about 10 ohms. On the "bad" car the resistance was 250 ohms. I'm nearly certain the solenoid is bad... after all, it is 21 years and 285kmi old. I'll find out in a week or two, I'm waiting on parts at the moment... just ordered yesterday.
