The factory did you a favor and deleted it for you. Manual transmissions don't have TV cables

An A4 uses the TV cable to control line pressure for part throttle shift points. The other two cables are throttle and cruise.

If your 4+3 has three cables the third may have something to do with the OD, but is not a TV cable.

Jim, the '84 and '85 4+3 vehicles do have a TV cable. It goes directly to the overdrive unit for the kickdown effect. The later 86-88 units went to full electronic control.

If you remove that cable you'll no longer get the overdrive kickdowns.
