One more ?
When using a manual valve body trans, do you need to shift it manually all the time in both directions or just when racing

[odell4o8]

manual shift all the time, it dont matter if you are going slow or fast, my trans, free wheels in 2nd gear, like neutral, good luck oc,

a 10 sec trans. with a t-brake. thanks Rich
