If it works better after wiring back, is it ok to leave it that way for a while and just drive it?
On mine, there is a rod that comes from the trans to a pivoting linkage at the bottom of the firewall. Everything from that pivoting linkage up toward the carb is missing. It would be great if I know which way to tie the rod coming toward the firewall and leave and drive it until I can find what I need. Or, will this still do more damage to trans?
