Does it have a manual valve body?? If so then you do not need the throttle pressure linkage.

Someone had kickdown linkage on here for sale yesterday. I spend the money for the lokar cable, and throttle cable and it really works good.

you need a kickdown cable if you do not have a manual valve body....it is really a Throttle pressure cable..regulates the line pressure to the clutch pac....

keep driving without it...and your trans will be toast...

If you put the car in drive, will it shift by itself? If it does then you DO NOT have a manual valve body.

And as Tony said, if you run it that way your trans will be toast in short order.
