Default Manual valve body on the street??

I was thinking about doing a manual valve body when I do my 80 swap. Ive never drove a manual valve body car before so I was just wondering how everyone was liking the ones they have or had on the street.

Clutchless manual that goes straight forward and backwards. It's not bad at all, but I wouldn't want it for a daily driver. Just my personal preference

I run a full manual reverse valvebody in my TH350. I like it and it keeps my wife out of my car. I plan on going with the same in a 4l80.

I've got one. Manual reverse line NWalton. It's not that bad. When I first put it in, it took some getting used to when pulling up to stop lights. But if your used to a manual or riding a street bike it's not that bad. I'd do it again.
