Don’t even know where to begin

it is possible to run with the kickdown disconnected. you must however zip tie the lever on the trans to be halfway through it's travel. on these mopar trans' the kickdown lever also controls line pressure in the trans' so as as above the trans' will die within a few miles if fully disconnected. you can fine tune shift points by varying the lever position around that halfway point too.
it's not ideal but will get you mobile and do it without frying the trans'. :thumbsup:
