He builds a pro street valve body that prevents the problem but I don't really want to change valve bodies right now. I don't really need to down shift to first when the car is moving anyway so I just need to stop doing it.


I thought if anyone knew this it would be you. You need a LBA valve body. I bought one to replace the Cheetah in my car if it ever gets back on the road, or to go with it if I ever send it down the road.

I really dig that Duster.
