D= 1st gear
3= 2nd gear
2= 3rd gear
manual valve body means you have to shift it, you can't just leave it in "D" or "3".
the reverse part means you shift from front to back rather than from back to front.

The reason these are around is not just so you have to move the shifter yourself and change the direction you move it.
A manual vb has shorter fluid paths for lack of a better explanation. In other words the fluid doesn't have to go through shift valves and accumulators to get to the clutch apply areas. Some manual vb's just have a manual valve (the one connected to the shift cable) and thats it, no other valves that move, no shift valve springs, etc.
The reason the shift pattern is reversed is because these were invented before ratchet shifters, so you would not be in risk of missing third and going into neutral or reverse.
I don't know why they are still around.
I personally think it feels more natural to move the shifter to the back when shifting during a race since the g forces of accelerating are pushing things rearward anyway.
Maybe thats why they're still around in reverse pattern. I use one in a th400.
