The older AOD that were not computer controlled had a throttle cable that attached to the throttle lever so the transmission would know how much load the engine was under. This lever controlled shift points and also line pressure for holding the clutches in place. This is why you would toast your AOD if you dont hook up the throttle cable. The transmission would operate at minimum pressure even if you had the pedal to the floor. The clutches would continuously slip and grind away until the transmission would be permenently in neutral. I a guy who burnt out his "new" AOD in an afternoon.
