My Daughter's AW71, I think, came off the spool by the intake manifold. I believe the little rubber stop had dryed up enough to not release the cable when the accelerator was released (cable had tan rubber on it). My connecting it and messing around with the cable also, I think, caused the cable to disconnect in the transmission. Now, the transmission shifts fine w/o the kickdown. She has driven it about 60 miles w/o the cable connected and has not noticed any difference (no accelerator kickdowns). It will still shift down from OD (?) to the next higher gear (w/accelerator, me driving) with no problem. She has not noticed any difference (cautious driver seeing no need to downshift). I can't, of course, see if the loose cable in the transmission would cause any problems.
Our question-will any damage be done leaving the kickdown cable disconnected at the spool and in the transmission? I can't, of course, see if the loose cable in the transmission would cause any problems.
