Default hard to manually shift th400 w/o hitting limiter?

how hard is it to manually shift a th400?

I am leaning toward a manual valve body and wondering if it will be hard to race and shift at the correct time?

when trying to manually shift my 4l60 I ALWAYS banged the limiter!

shift light???

Its not hard at all....I would get a shift light, as long as you got a good built tranny is should shift fast as all hell... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

There's no time lag when shifting a manual valve body. It happens RIGHT NOW! Not like manually shifting an auto valve body. No comparison.
