Tranny help please Asap Reply #2 – November 10, 2013, 11:20:58 PM The throttle valve cable controls all the pressures in the AOD, it's recommended not to drive without it. Quote Selected

Tranny help please Asap Reply #4 – November 10, 2013, 11:50:55 PM Yes it's the same thing, carbs and TBI used a rod, MPFI used a cable. Driving an AOD without that hooked up, even if only once, WILL ruin the transmission. Quote Selected
Tranny help please Asap Reply #5 – November 10, 2013, 11:56:39 PM So that bar has more to do then just down shifting when passing someone it's got a lot to do with pressure for the tranny .... I no u can drive it around in just d and not use the overdrive in city I didn't no not using that bar would cause a pressure problem Quote Selected

With it disconnected, you'll burn up the clutches and soon you'll be stranded. Better to not drive it until you can replace it and adjust it properly. Quote Selected
