Volvo 240 gl 1991 KickDown and change up problem. 200 1991

Hello All,
I have just signed up for this great site last night and have been ploughing through all the forums for an answer to my problem regarding my auto transmission, I have not been able to find an answer yet so will ask here ,please forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere,

Right, I bought a 1991 Volvo 240GL 2.0 Auto and everything seems good apart from the fact that it won`t kick Down and will not change up when I ease off the throttle it will not change up untill I have taken the revs up to about 4000 rpm,which is not a huge problem around town,but is on 60 mph roads with cameras as when I ease off from 65/70 to 60 it changes down and I am high revving again! on my search around the internet I have an idea it may be the kick down cable,but I have no clue where that should be or is, I am in no way a mechanic and have never owned a Volvo before, I have ordered a Haynes manual but thought that the Volvo owners on here would maybe be able to assist me? I wonder if someone could point me to a diagram of that region of the engine and if it is the Kick down cable that needs, changing/adjusting it may be able to help me in doing it?

Hope someone can help me,
Best Wishes,
Rob.
