Sorry guys, been reading posts and am noticing something thats repeated alot. What is a manual valve body? Thanks for your time!

Rian,
A manual valve body "reprograms" an automatic transmission so that you have to put it in whichever gear you want. If you put it in 1, it will be in first gear and stay there until you move the shifter. If you put it in 2, same thing, etc. There will be no automatic shifting. You have to start out in first gear, and "manually" shift the transmission. When you come to a stop, you have to shift back down to low gear.

Thats cool....has me thinking! So, it would be like a manual just with out the clutch!? And i'm guessing that if you start in say 2nd at a stop, you run the risk of burning up the internal clutches or would it kill the engine? Also, would there still be a kickdown/t.v. cable or would it only be manual down shifting? Thanks for the info!!
