Why would you do that?

The TV linkage or cable on an AOD is critical to performance and trans life.

That linkage/cable needs to be installed and properly adjusted before you drive it again, or you risk losing the trans.

Scroll down here, and open up the right hand window to find instructions for the AOD TV cable set up:

No linkage or cable? Lokar sells that item, google search for it.

You probably need a new direct clutch. Without the linkage the trans runs at minimum pressure. The direct clutch might be able to survive one shift at minimum pressure, but not two. It is almost certainly toast.
