It's not quite as simple as that, Stew. The throttles are also linked to a throttle control valve lever on each transmission through elaborate interlinked levers on the throttle slave cylinder. This linkage tells the transmission the engine load so it can increase band and clutch clamping pressures under heavy load and delay upshifts. Get this wrong and the slippage can burn out the transmission.
