You will burn up your torque flight transmission with out this shaft and without it adjusted properly. It controls the line pressure in the tranny which tells the tranny to downshift (passing gear) and also when to upshift by how far the throttle is open or closed. You'll burn up the clutches in time from them slipping from lack of pressure and from being in the wrong gear in the wrong situation.
And yes steve snhemi is right every Chevy guy will waste a torqueflight as they all think its for kicking down into passing gear.
