TV is a throttle control valve. It controls the transmission pressures and the governor controls the the shift speed. All the old Ford-O & Merc-O-matics were set up this way. It's not just a kick down set up even though it will make it kick down when it goes to full throttle.

It's just part of the throttle linkage on old ford automatics.
