Reverse valve body

[al1tonyota]

Ok seems to be some confusion in the last few comments the valve body has nothing to do with how fast you can change gears or hit reverse or neutral! The only difference in a forward and reverse manual valve body is the order of the forward gears nothing else! Prn123 is reverse prn321 is forward or standard if you will notice second is in the same place also! If you have engine braking in a reverse vb it will lock up the tires via engine braking for a split second before going to neutral or reverse. Without engine braking and with a reverse pattern it will just over run as it passes through first. Ok for the other direction forward pattern same scenario shifting from second to neutral or reverse it will go into third for a split second as its passing through not a problem unless you are still in the gas then you get one more little spin in there that may put you on over? It is just a preference as to which direction you want to be going with the shifter as you take off and if you want to have to shift gears manually! (all the time) sucks for

Hope that helps!

my shifter gates are cut so that if i shove the shifter hard in any forward gear forward it will hit neutral, if i pull the lever during said shove it will go to reverse. I pull it into 1, bump into 2, pull lever back, pull into 3. Its a partial lever pull for park so it is difficult in a wheeling situation to get it into park without wanting to. Its all preference of where you want 1 and 3 that's all it is. I just liked pulling back on the shifter during climbs seemed more natural to me.

I think most of the comments are towards being able to hit reverse from your favorite gear for whatever situation. I typically run trails and hit hills in 3rd (low range) so having it just below neutral makes it easy to bang reverse quickly instead of fighting gates.

as some have said, many will trim the gates so it's easier as well

Side track but are you geared to low or just go that fast?

The part I can't get is when woods riding or climbing...is why would you wanna go through lower gears to try and get to neutral or reverse? Just doesn't make sense to me, but I ain't real bright! ???

I've heard someone else say this before, but unless you are just talking about moving the shifter itself through the lower gears, you are about to bang it into R anyways, so whys it matter to hit 2nd and 1st for a split second on your way to R?

I seem to like how it's geared except I wish I had an OD. th350 with deeper first gear, atlas 3.8, 5.38s, 42s

slow technical trails we're usually in low range and anything else I'll mess around in high range.

i have reverse manual body in my th400 and modified hurst quarter stick gates.
going to reverse from any gear i just pull the lever and push it to front and it stops it in reverse position.

1 and 2 are in gate. going to 3 rd i pull lever and pull the stick back.

Same here 450hp ls2, 2800 stall, th350 low 1st w/ rmvb and winters shifter, 3.8 but 5.13's. 1st low for technical, 2-3 low for good bumps, high 1st for assaults. Once your used to the shifter, making the forward-reverse exchange is no problem, I haven't even modified my gates.

Nothing wrong with that. :smoke:

Partly because of the shifter I use... B&M Pro Street ratchet. Would like to change shifters sometime...suggestions??

Ok I got just a regular valve body now , if I was going to stay with regular pattern what would be the advantage of doing a manual valve body ??? Couldn't I just put it in 2nd and not shift to 3rd tell I need it ???

A Transgo 1-2 shift kit will accomplish the same thing, and give you compression braking.

Either a gated shifter (quarter stick, etc) with the gates cut to allow a shift to R with no trigger or a Sidewinder

this is the shifter I use and I love it!! Gates are easily modified, there is a plate that just unbolts and you can modify it in the vise. Mine actually even came with a spare plate for different lock out positions.

If you run a gate shifter like a Winters just make a custom gate that allows you to get to reverse. That's what I did, no VB required.
