Disabling kickdown will let it look at the mapping in the computer and decide if it should downshift or not. Kickdown is used to get a quick downshift to happen because the stock mapping is so slow. With the much faster downshifts it isn't needed any more.
Ah, Ok, Thanx for the clearing of that. Just wasn't sure what the difference is. My whole thing is when the wife takes the car she use's if in "S" I just dont want here to be trying to manual downshift the car,

For me I drive in "M" 100% on the time
