It's Ford and GM that supplement their control via kickdown lever and
vacuum module, for maximum control. Computer control Cherokees:

Yeah, but A Coruņa is at least as hilly as Cincinnati, and all the cabs
there are standard shift. If we were paying over a Euro a liter for

Nope. Here's my Superduty v10: 2 cables, one to cruise control unit, one to
accelerator pedal.

No kickdown lever or vacuum module. No reference to kickdown lever or cable,
or vacuum module in FSM. Newfangled computer-controlled electronic
transmissions use the TPS to determine kickdown.
