Seeing as how the AOD uses a cable attached to the TB to tell the tranny when to shift (basically, I'm sure it's more in-depth than that), if I were to completely disconnect that cable, then put the car in drive the tranny would then stay in 1st gear when I accelerate correct?
The reason I'm asking is because while I was trying to get the linkage off one of the trannies I'm working on, I had a thought. If I were to eliminate the TV cable, that would prevent it from shifting into the next gear, requiring me to manually put it into the next gear. I could essentially make it a floor shifted clutchless manual by running a cable from the linkage to the new shifter, right? I know it would be manual only, but that's what I want.
Is it that easy or is there more involved? I think I heard somebody mentions something about modifying the valve body or something, but I know more about brain surgery than I do about transmissions.
Once again, thanks everybody.
