yeah, i got a shift reprogram kit for mine and a few other goodies i ordered from PATC. just stuff thats been improved upon in the past 20 some years so we'll see how the trans acts after the upgrades. i was rebuilt not too long ago.

 

How does a manual valvebody work? Do you shift it like a manual on the colum?

 

precisely, if you put it in drive it was start in "3rd" column in 2nd and it'll start out in 2nd and so on, you have to manually return to 1st everytime you stop.
