So do you guys really think there is a difference from kicking down a stock valve body into first gear from speed or putting a non band apply MVB into first at the same speed?

Well there isn't.

You should no issues. I love my Turbo action RMVB and 3800 stall.

Q1 - If I'm waiting at the lights and go to drive off normally - will it hurt the trans if I leave it in D(3rd gear?) No you must go back to 1st (where D is) then [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] at desired rpm
Q2 - If thats not advisable.....- is it OK to take off in 2nd gear? No start in 1st (D)
you start in 2nd when you are in the burn out box, then hit 3rd as the tires start to smoke...

You know I never looked at it that way. I mean since I use a TA non apply low band in first I really thought about slamming it back in first and worrying about the overrunning clutch locking back up from freewheeling and figure I dont want to worry about doing any damage to it. But you are correct as in a stock trans the low band is not on when in first from the drive posistion and we all have slammed it to the floor at 20 mph to have it drop back to first and go ! Hmmmmmmm........now you have me thinking about that. Ron

Thanks Tex and Mr Yuck.

And if you simply don't understand how to drive buy and engine that can handle the occassional 70 MPH shift into 1st. LOL




Well if I'd posted about "low band apply"..I'd agree with you...but I was asking about gear choice in traffic.

Like somebody else said above, either change your driving technique to accomodate the different valve body, or don't put a manual valve body in it.





Hey! .Maybe thats why I asked?

Because I want to know what I can and can't do...

Never used one before...Go figure...

I believe the discussion was about shifting to low while coming to a stop. Kicking down is done at WOT and stopping is at idle.

Besides the point first of all. If you take off in 2nd or 3rd and you're only going say 20 MPH you can still shift into 1st under throttle. If you can do that why can't you shift to first while rolling at say 5-10 mph before stopping? A stock valve body will go into first before a complete stop, you just don't feel it because it's free wheeling. Granted it's probably under 5 MPH but it's the same thing. They just don't want you slamming a RMVB down into first at 30 and then hammering it or using 1st as a kind of neutral to coast down.
