how do you shift a reverse manual th400
with the th400, do you downshift while slowing down to a stop light like an m6 trans? or what about cruzin at 30mph and want to mash on it do you downshift from say 2nd into first?

I usually leave it in third when I coast down otherwise since it has no engine braking the intermediate sprag can burn up due to lack of lube if shifted into first at a high speed and coasted down.
When I drive and get on it I usually drop it into first for a second to get the rpm's up (like around 7500) and then hit second.

I wasted 2 TCI full comp reverse TH-400 trannys. I used to shift to second to freewheel to the light, and then to 1st after I stopped. If it turned green before I got there and I forgot to shift back to 3rd, I would hit the gas and it was like neutral dropping the trans. I sheared the case lugs off twice before I figured out why it was happening.
Other than that, I loved the reverse pattern!
