Okay so I'm having some shift problems and found out about the TV bushings. Well so I went out to my car and checked it out. The cable wasnt even connected. I took a couple of pics.

The local ford has to order the part and will take 3-5 business days. That might mean I wont get the part till next week! So I've read people saying dont drive it, dont drive it because I'm going to burn out the transmission. Is there anything I can do for the time being so I can drive the car? It does the gear hunting an when going really slow in D, sometimes I need to manually shift into 1 to get it going. Is it the hard shifts that damage the trans? Would cruising in one gear for a couple miles over heat the trans or something? Looking at the pics, is there anything else I need to properly mount the TV cable?
