OK, then define a term that suggest the same thing with "kick down", but for a manual... Laughing
WOT? Full throttle? There is no throttle on diesel engine... So ?

I'm sure that the OP has understood what I meant to say... Thumbs Up

Alex your English is brilliant Bow down (and my Romanian is non-existent - I did try to learn it but got no-where Embarassed ). However I have only ever encountered "kick-down" as a technical term with auto boxes. For the usage you are looking for I think you'd need to say "put your foot down" (English) or "floor the pedal" (?American) or something similar.
The previous poster has a manual car and asked what the term meant - the only answer is, nothing at all on a manual car. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
