Default Transmission Died, She Is Going To Vannest!

Driving to work the other day and the power went bye-bye. Now it has neutral in ALL gears. Crap! Per my buddies suggestion I am going to take her to Vannest in WV! Gonna be a heck of a trip from Cleveland but I have heard its well worth it!

Brian told me he puts in a valve body with a switch that lets it "act like a manual trans"... Anyone have experience with these? I dont really understand.

For the TQ Converter? I thought he said it was part of the valve body?

I hope so... Will the switch lock the TQ Conv. all the time? The lockup switch i put in would only lock it in after it went to 3rd i believe. I know it wouldnt lock in when in 1st.

Will it still shift when locked? Wont that trash the trans if it does?
