[MV] Info on CUCV kickdown switch.

I've noticed on several CUCVs that the throttle transmission kickdown switch,
doesn't get activated when the pedal is to the metal.
The shaft barely moves the switch arm, not enough to activate it.
More interestingly, there appears to be no adjustment for it, slotted
mounting holes, etc.

Better still, none of the MIL TMs make any mention of it except for its
removal
and installation.
Better and better still, my 84 civi manual says nothing either.

Any ideas anyone?
Thanks again!

Oh....remember that thread a long while back regarding spacers and long bolts
being used for no apparent reason; CUCVs, transfer case crossmember and
steering gear and I'm sure elsewhere.
Finally hit me (no not my head, but it would help), the bolt maintains its
torque
much longer then a shorter bolt would without the spacer.
Bolt strech. Whether its really needed or not, I'll not go there.

My $ .000025 worth.
