Can anyone tell me what this switch is, what it does and do I need it? It is located on top of the bracket that holds the gas pedal to the firewall. It was not connected to anything when I bought the car. Thanks!

After hitting the search files, it appears it allows the tranny to "kick" down from 3rd to 2nd for passing, correct? The car is new to me and I really haven't had a chance to drive it, just work on it. W/o the switch do you just go from 1st to second to third and then have to basically stop to get back to first?
