Oh, now it makes sense. When I read it was set-up for delayed shifting, it didn't quite make sense.
With the kickdown switch, you can set it to hold the gears or downshift sooner, which is great!
Thanks for clarifying.

I knew I kept that 89 auto trans for a reason.
For some reason I thought it was a 2:63, oh well.

You sure Erkka? RoW Auto's are 2.54 - I thought all 5-speeds from 87-89 are the 2.64?
