Slip and slide transmission

TV pressure from the "kickdown" is just as important in a GM and Ford as a pre ptk chrysler. Some earlier Fords are even more important. Sorta like a 700r4 or AOD; if the kd isn't hooked up at all, it won't even shift. Easy to figure out just by looking at the kd arm inside the trans; where it doesn't even touch the valve at idle.
