Have you ever talked to John Cope? You better hope you catch him on a good day. Many times. Must be I have never caught him on a "Bad" day. He always answers the phone and answers my questions. Never had a negative conversation with the man personally. I am running his VB and it is one of the best purchases I have made for my car. Hope you get your issue figured out. Make sure you post and let us know what the problem was.

I've bought three transmissions from John, he is short and to the point but always helps me with my questions and everything always works as it should for the most part too

I've heard Hemi Super Stock cars with just a touch of flare on the gear change. I would expect they are wanting to stay away from overlap which can slow the car down. Flare and slip are not the same thing although flare is hard on the high gear clutch pack. Flare can also be tuned out.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Ditto , the tranny in my car has all of his parts and his transbrake VB and it works flawless and has from day 1, altho John did not do the assembly ( I did ) I set it up to his spec's,, I suspect it is in the adjustment's as the second gear release and the high gear apply happens in milliseconds and is not usually the VB that causes that but a mis adjusted shifter,intermediate band or clutch clearance,, now as far as mechanical then the item list is a lot greater and I could go on and on.
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

Few years back Cope used A&A vakve bodies on his transmissions My 904 is a Cope super pro unit, among other tbings it has an A&A brake valve body in it. Was built in late 2014. Just installed the tranny, shifts ultra nicely. Dont intend to use it other than footbraking. I have a 727 i just took out that has a rvmb in it i havent taken pan off of to see what it was.
