ECT is for towing, you activate ECT so your transmission doesn't shift into a higher gear until it reaches a higher minimum rpm. This will create less load on the entire drive train as a whole.

Why will your 1993 Volvo 960 transmission not shift into high gear?

A common problem with alot of Volvo's is the Overdrive. Basically the high gear. If it wont shift into high gear it means that the "Overdrive" is activated and won't shift into high gear. You need to see if there is a little upwards pointing arrow on your Dashboard Cluster. If there is then you need to replace your Overdrive Solenoid.

What would cause a 1988 Honda prelude 2.0 Si to down shift every time you let off the accelerator could it be misplaced vacuum hoses or is it more serious?

Vacuum on an automatic transmission normally controls shift timing and would not effect downshifting (normally). Shifting is normally caused by internal fluid pressure in the valve body, with WOT control to over-ride shift points. Check the shift cable and make sure it is properly adjusted, if that is not it then the problem is internal to the valve body of the transmission.
