As stated above, Do not drive it without the TV cable. The pressure should be around 0-5 psi at idle and go up to 35-40 as you acc. Please look up the numbers as my memory is failing and the above numbers are from ...whatever. Anyway without the cable doing what it should you will have low pressure and the trans will burn up. Also use a pressure guage not a tool, IMO the tools are a guess the gauge is correct.

The LOKAR cable comes w/a gapping tool. You use this to adjust the pressure at idle. I agree you should always use a pressure gauge, and the tool LOKAR provides w/the cable.
