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.




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.
