You'll need the cable to automatically downshift when you step on the gas, but it's not as critical to the operation of the transmission like a 700R4 TV cable is.

I didn't think the TH400 had a kickdown cable, only the TH350.

That's right, when i read cable I started thinking of the TH350. The TH400 uses an electric kickdown switch.
