just had a 320ise auto dropped off last night and on the drive home i noticed that it would kickdown but would only rev to around 4000 rpm before changing up again
anyone got any advise regarding this
its the non switchable type by the way

If if drive and push the pedal all the way but without "clicking" the switch at the back, my car will change around 4000, but if i push it all the way till it clicks it will rev to 5500 or above....have you tried this?

yeah, pushed the pedal till it clicked,thought that was just my old man ankles lol.
thought this switch might be at fault actually but i dont know enough about autos to say.
had someone suggest oil level too

best to try a different kickdown switch first and then also check the level of the ATF fluid. You need the car running warm to check the fluid in the 'box.
If you have no joy with than then PM me as my old man is an auto box specialist and will probably be able to make some sensible suggestions
