Kickdown cable problem 200 1990

posted by  someone claiming to be doghauler on  Thu Feb 3 04:53 CST 2005 [RELATED]

My kickdown cable recently broke at the connection to the throttle. The car now upshifts really fast (too fast sometimes) and obviously won't drop gears as i hit the pedal. Is it bad for the tranny to drive like this, other than having to manually upshift for rpms? I'm going to get it replaced soon, but i'm working out-of-town for two more weeks and only trust my mechanic. The car in question is my 90' 240.
