Default For anyone with a street driven manual valvebody trans

I want to get a TH350 with a trans brake and a manual valvebody, but I will still put about 3-4 thousand miles per year on it. Please tell me if you like driving with it on the street or if I should just keep the automatic features,thanx!!

I don't know yet, but I will know how it is on Saturday

I'll post my results given the installation goes smoothly, seeing as it's gonna be like 105 degrees

I like it, but I am used to cruising with a manual trans. The only thing that might get old is backing into a parking spot (parallel parking), when using a shifter that requires you to actuate a lever to shift into reverse. Other than that, it isn't too bad.

I will have to agree with Sandmann120. I love my TH-350, trans-brake and all.

I LOVE my th350 w/transbrake. I put about 650 miles a week on mine. but i too came from a six speed so it wasn't that much of a change.

Some rmvb's are different than others. I really like the Rossler for the street. Combine it with a B&M Hammer shifter and it's easy to get into reverse and very easy to drive on the street. Basically, a clutchless manual.
