power to the solonoid. By the way I don't care about the kick down sw. on the gas pedal,
cause I haven't kicked down any vehicle since I was 16yrs old. lol thanks sam
now I gotta find a relay, wiring no problem starting to sound pretty simple....

You're losing a lot of the benefits of overdrive if you don't use the kickdown. Say you've been running on the highway and slow to 35 through town. When you go to accelerate, you will be lugging the engine and will have very slow acceleration unless you downshift to second. It's a lot easier to just momentarily floor the gas pedal to kick out of overdrive, accelerate to highway speed, let off the gas momentarily and you're back in overdrive. Almost like an automatic!
