I don't know if they are still available, but I used to have a "Fairbanks" manual valve body with a "low gear safety feature". This applied the low band in 1st gear. Fairbanks is no longer in business, but there were other companies that had them available. |

Thanks for the additional info, Charlie and Dennis. Looks like the Cheetah is out, and I will look around for a MVB with low band apply. Chirp! Lou |

| Post subject: | Transpak, etc. |
My Jeg's catalog lists the B&M Transpak for the A-904 with 6 cyl 1966-77 as part # 130-10228 for $51.99. It says it's the shift improver kit with additional driver manual control. The tech guy couldn't really answer if it is reverse or forward pattern and/or if it applies the band for 2-1 downshift. It's about $84 cheaper than the Cheetah reverse valve body. They aren't all that scary inside. I can probably do this. Summit's catalog has the Transpak for .04c cheaper, but the tech help wasn't any better. Sorry that isn't much help. Maybe a call to B&M, etc is needed. Rob |

What you will have is simply a good shift kit. You will still have to use the K-D linkage, it will be forward pattern, and it will still shift itself in drive.  The main reason I went full manual was to get rid of the KD linkage, and the fact that I'm nuts.

| Post subject: | Kickdown Linkage |
That's what I need since I don't have a kickdown. I thought if it was manual it deleted the need for the kickdown. So it would appear that I need the valve body itself rather than just a kit to modify mine(?). Thanks again. Rob |

Hmmm, my bros '68 Dart 318 had a manual kit in it from about 15-20 years ago (I think BM), and it had no kickdown and you had to shift it manually. It had really hard upshifts, but the 2-3 downshift was slippery. Lou |
