Plus I want the braking effect in first gear. I also like the reverse shift pattern. 1) So, is a Griner VB an easy swap? I was told I would also need to change the reverse servo arm to a 4.2 if I went with a manual VB. Could I still run the stock arm? Don
My Griner manual valve body has low band apply (1st gear braking). The lever arm is for the front band, not the rear.
Front sevro/band and lever: 2nd gear Rear servo/band: 1st (if low band apply) and reverse (all valve bodies)
I use a 3.8 lever, so I see no problem with a 3.2 or 3.8, or even the 4.2. The billet rear servo is a good idea if you are going to be down shifting to 1st (rear servo/low band apply). I like the $75 kit that Randy sells with a heavy duty spring and retainer with the servo, see the parts for sale section of this web site.

I am running the T/A reverse manual There are some now that let you do 1st gear burnout though. I know CRT used to recommend one that did as he use them in his builds .

W/r/t "Due a design error there is no way to connect the kick down/throttle linkage. I was told the only way to do away with that linkage is to go to a full manual valve boddy" Let me translate: the person who told you this doesn't know how.
Drove a full manual on the street 50 years ago. Gets old 10 minutes into traffic. I actually wore out the detent steps in the shift gate. Can't drive the car at all if it rains in the next town, the car will loop at 10 mph on the 1-2 shift unless the wheels are straight. A loose converter fixes a lot of this, but is that what you want?
