You are correct, but all of this will not happen with the TV rod disconnected unless the lever itself is actuated in some manner to arrive at correct TV pressure.

The trans assy has to see proper TV pressure to operate properly according to its' calibration(s). You would/could fine tune and modify from that point. The same with a vacuum modulator valve, it is adjustable.

Or am I off on an incorrect tangent?
