If you install a manual valve body, you have to shift every gear, EVERY TIME! You can't just leave it in drive and start out. When you come to a stop, you have to shift it to 1st, 2nd, 3rd. If you don't and leave it in drive (3rd) and start out, you will cook the tranny in a short period of time.
If this is a street driven truck, I wouldn't recommend it. Manual valve bodies are for racing. Reid ------------------ Sylvan Lake, Alberta, Canada 1970 Chevy C20 Custom Camper 402BB Turbo 400 trans.
