No kick down lever?

I have a 73 duster with a 360 and a 727 with some aftermarket slapstick shifter.

When i got the car the kickdown lever was not connected to the carb and there for not in use but the car had not been driven for at least 3 years.
When I switched the intake and carb I removed the lever completely and forgot to install it again and left it 350km away from where I am now. I there is a car festival or whatever next weekend and I would really like to drive it there. Is it ok to drive the car without the kickdown lever for the duration of the weekend? Could it do any damage to the tranny?
The car would be driven several hundred km.

Thank you! :þ

Yes it could. Unless you have a manual shift valve body in the trans.

yeah its not just a kickdown or passing gear function. It sends a throttle pressure signal to the trans throughout its movement. adjusted wrong can cause low signal and damage the trans just like disconnected. Factory service manuals detail its setup procedure.

If you drive it like a little old lady.

it will wreck the transmission, I would not run it without one, and also properly adjusted.......talking from experience.....

if you have to drive it, wire the throttle pressure /kickdown lever half way back . If not, the trans thinks there is no/barely any throttle pressure and will shift like that, long.. drawn out. If you wire it back, then the trans sees a 'load' and will shift accordingly, sharper and faster. It wont be fun putting around town but itll get you there.
