Id like to know well a 727 manual valve body tranny works for occasional street use. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

 

So your car is mostly a racer ?

 

I have used a manual VB in several different street cars with great results.

 

 

Thanks for your reply. I have a 63 Plymouth Sport Fury with a 383hp engine. It will be used occasionally on the street and not much racing. Im building the car now. My plan is to probably have the engine built with a stroker kit to 496ci with a 373 sure grip rear end. Using the manual valve body tranny i thought would eliminate the need for kick down linkage. Can you manually downshift when slowing to make a turn. Any thoughts? Thanks again.

 

Manually downshift ? ... no need to ! ... with a torque-motor and driving it EZ on the street ... you can leave it it third gear unless you come to a full-stop.

You planning on keeping the PB trans ?

 

I am not planning on keeping the original push button trans I will get a newer type 727 but I am having the push buttons converted to shift the new model transmission.

 

WHY the switch ?
