If the cable is too slack or disconnected, the car will be in third gear before it reaches 20 MPH. In order to avoid this, he can simply "manual shift" by selecting 1, 2, and D as he accelerates. I did this for a while when my car's cable was too slack. It was easy enough and made me nostalgic for nothing.
