when driving to car and you want to pass or get up a hill when you put the pedal to the floor the transmission will not drop down a gear you can do it manually with the shifter, this just started the other day any ideas thanks going nowhere

Click on the "search" at the top of the page. Type in "kickdown".
Much to read here.

Your problem could be as simple as replacing the kickdown switch or adjusting the Boden cable. Or more complicated as having to replace the kickdown solinoid.
Start with the switch under the gas pedal. Make sure your carpet is not blocking the switch. Using your finger, press the switch. You should hear/feel a click. And the switch should return full when released. Make sure it's plugged at the switch and under the car at the tranny.
