Video is self explainatory, which I require you guys to help me out by watching the video.

Just to list out a few things:
- Both car is A/T.
- Both car has the same engine, (Non turbo-ed).
- Both car is not chipped (If that made any sense).
- Both is about the same year, I think.. or probably a different in batch? How can I find this value?

I want my kick-down switch feel!

Bumpy bump.

It looks like the housing for your kick down switch is broken compared to the other car.

Do you mean the one inside the engine bay? Has anyone ever came across this kind of problem before?

I am not familar with this car but from the video it seems that your switch in the engine bay is loose and this maybe causing the problem.
Have you disconnected the switch and checked how many wires are in the plug?
It might be worth unplugging the switch and fitting two long wires into the plug, running these wires into the cabin. Then go for a drive and ask a passenger to touch the two wires together to see of the car engages kickdown, if it does it must be your original switch that is not working.

Went downstairs to have a look at the plug and unplugged it. It seems it does have two wires.




Looks like it's activated by closing the circuit together when flooring it by the Throttle wire, eh?

EDIT: But how about the pedal that has the kick-down feel of which mine doesn't?
