Your setup right there works awesome for my car. If I drive on the street, its in od and drives normal. At the track, it hasn't missed a beat yet. After 200+ low 10/high 9 passes, it still shows crisp shifts on the data log.Constant pressure has it place. I agree with Chris its very hard on the pump and Not suited for daily driving. This was a trick for those who were too cheep the work on the TV cable geometry to get it correct. I personally use a dual pressure setup with my transbrake transmissions. Full line in manual 1-2-3 and TV cable in 4th. IMO best of both worlds. In 3rd gear full line for doing business. 4th gear on TV cable to take the sting out for normal driving. You need to decide if its right for you.

I put the trick out there for free, so those who want it can use it. I also don't recommend it for daily driver usage typically but it's a good option on some of the harder hitting combos.
It works extremely well with the dual feed.
I have used you method a couple times. Much easier than what I came up with for constant pressure.
Thanks! for all the input guys. My first though was.."that has to be hard on the pump" I don't think this modification is going to be the best in this situation. Must find better ways to make direct live longer. Cars with big turbos, alky injection, heads, cams, etc running DR tires making big power are hard on the transmission at 1/2 throttle shifts when the line pressure isn't up to snuff. I see Sonnex has some TV valves on the market that suppose to rise line pressures soon, anyone have any thoughts on them? I'll be glad when I see my last 200-4R.
Thanks.
