If you're in Manual 2nd, it will NOT downshift into 1st (unless you downshift manually).
If it's in Drive, it should downshift automatically when you're going slow enough, and/or floorboarding the gas pedal...assuming the kickdown linkage is attached and is adjusted right.
The vacuum modulator delays an automatic upshift, and typically doesn't do much in the way of downshifting (could still be an issue though if it's sticking, leaking internally, or out of adjustment) It might even be adjustable(some are, some aren't).
