An automatic will shift like an automatic...UNLESS
You install a manual valve body and turn up the pump pressure. Then it will do as it's told.
I don't know what trans you have, but manual valve body kits are available for most older trannys.Ensure that the path of least resistance is not you...

It's a 1974 'Cuda with 318 with 2 speed TorqueFlight.Though the engine was bone stocker (2bbl and all) I'm pretty sure it has 3.83 gears(tire vs. driveshaft math) and a shift kit.If I stand on it and let nature take its course it'll chirp the tires when 2nd hits.Last edited by Ravage; 02-26-2004 at 09:24 AM.
