Automatic Transmission Kickdown

<< I have a 1991 Audi 100 with a 4-speed automatic transmission that shows
 absolutely no interest in kicking down to a lower gear when I floor the
 throttle. Given the limited power of the car, this can be a major
 embarrassment at times.
 Does anyone have any suggestions on what to check? The transmission works
 fine except for this problem.

There is a kickdown button underneath the throttle in the early cars - like, 
for example, my old 1986 GT auto.  Maybe yours is broken?

Later!
