That makes it a NO switch. so If I unhook the wires at the trans
there is NO chance of a faulty kickdown signal (even if I took out
the switch, there may be scuffed or disintegrated insulation or some
other cause to short the wires together.)

Just because the switch moves freely does not mean that it is functioning.

Well, I unplugged the kickdown switch (at the switch) and drove home.
Shifting is still not right, but seems to be better. At the least, I
think it needs a k1 spring, and maybe do the b2 piston kit while
there, try to flush out the valve body, then change filter and refill.
