No you can run without one and the trans will still work.

My 90 would not shift at all. I can't remember if I could shift it manually or not. Its been awhile ago. But the reason it wouldn't shift was because I had a bad throttle positioning sensor. Don't know if it will fix yours but its a suggestion.

TPS is linked in with the transmission it may be shot or needs adjustment.

First place I'd look is up under the pasenger side dash where the TCU is. Transmission Control Unit. Just below the glovebox is a wire harness wrapped in a bit of yellow tape. In that tape is an inline fuse that can fail or corrode causing all of your problems.

I just went through this situation
I replaced the TCM but that did not solve the problem
I replaced the 3 shift solenoids with a kit I found on line. The kit came with a transmission pan gasket and filter too.
It was very easy to do.
I also put in 4 quarts of DEX / MERC trans fluid
