Can PCM be setup to control TH400 kickdown?

Anyone know if the electric kickdown on TH400 tranny can be controlled using 411 PCM?

T-400 solenoid expects 12v, ECM outputs 5v. That can be overcome, but not sure of anything else...

Probably would be best to just put a kickdown switch under your accelerator pedal like 400's were set up with.Old school 400 really isn't electronically sophisticated enough to go through the extrs trouble.

I was thinking of adding a relay for the kickdown and controlling it will C2 pin 33 instead of a fan 2 control use it for the kickdown since it can be activated with ether RPM or TPS %
