i had this problem before....just took alot of PB blast and a few days....
spray...wiggle....soak...then repeat...

i thought that the kickdown unbolts from the downshift lever....but i cant exactly remember
if it does then unbolt it and clean the shaft

its stuck good, i just dont feel like taking the valve body out to get it all the way apart.suppose ill spray it again, been hosin it with PB for 2 weeks and whackin it with a hammer & cant get it to budge, im beginning to wonder if someone welded it ( its in a race car that you usually manually shift anyway)
