I've had a car (and worked on a car) where the kickdown cable was inoperative, ie it always wanted to start in 3rd (both 3 speed autos) and you had to manually downshift to function correctly. I wonder if a old school tranny couldn't be adjusted with higher line pressure and disable the kickdown to make for a manual shift auto? My cars have electronic controlled trannys so I'm sure that's a whole new ball of wax, but older trans seem to be a bit simpler.
My TPS adjustment I mentioned earlier was to the extreme allowed, I didn't force it to go further than engineered. And if power is needed, sometimes a manual downshift is in order. But I can now cruise at 35 in locked 4th without the trans trying to downshift constantly.
