Conn	After recently lunching my BB727's overrunning clutch, (found two rollers in the pan) i'm considering upgrading from my Cheetah Reverse pattern Manual Valve body to one of CRT/Cope Transmission's Reverse Manual Valve bodies with the "Low Band Apply" feature in my next tranny. Anyone notice any difference in 1/4 mile E.T.'s or difference in 1-2 or 2-3 shifts? I'm pretty sure it's a Must Have for me,(Cheap insurance for $300) but just curious what to expect and i've heard talk of the shifting not being as quick as the regular Cheetah or Turbo Action rev. pat. valve bodies. Thanks all 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

Make sure you go through that trans thoroughly. I found rollers and chunks of the flat springs in my pan also. The debris chewed up my outut shaft quite badly. I had to replace it.

The older LBA valve bodies were notorious for being slow releasing. That's where the loss of ET claim came from. "Everybody funny, now you funny too."

The debris chewed up my outut shaft quite badly. I had to replace it. When I had this transmission built a few years ago I had a second one built right beside it and that's the one going into the car. Only found two little rollers in the pan, the filter was clean almost like new, and a fair amount of very tiny fuzzy bits attached to the two magnets I had in the pan by the drain plug; All the fluid was nice and red, no big chunks of anything were found in the pan. I'll probably have the T.C. flushed before it goes back in. Pretty sure I lucked out this time, all things considered. I guess if you're not breaking stuff, you're not making any power 2005 300C Hemi 2014 Ram ProMaster 2500 I Rekey, Repin old Chrysler locks and cut keys by code

Thanks all Been a huge change in technology on this over the years. If you set the trans up with the proper springs in the servo and use the newer style Griner/A A/etc valve bodies, the band come off just as quick as if the 1st gear was through the overrunning clutch.

I have no experience with A$A but it's tough to find a more helpful, knowledgable, approachable person then John Cope.
