Default Shifter Question

Ok i want to be able to do is put the car manually in first. Then be able to just push it and have it lock in drive and not go to neutral. Here's why. When im messing around on the street and leaving from a light I like to put in first and let the car wrap up a bit. That way people know i want to play. Also because with spin off the launch, when you feather it, you can cause a premature shift to second. So what if any are my options?

Manual valve body - TransGO.
Search with "Manual Valve Body" and "MVB" in the transmo section.

Thats interesting..what kind of trans are you running? I have a street/strip TH350 that can be shifted manually or left in drive. It will hold first and second as long as I keep it there. I can go up to nuetral too. What I do is put it into first and do a little dry hop to get thier attention. If that doesnt do it they dont want none Ive got a 3500 convertor so I can step on the gas a little bit in drive without launching the car, which is another way to do it. Err maybe Im not following you.

What trans are you running? Most configurations have Nuetral above Drive...in the 60e senario...or mine stock one I had. It was 2, 3, D, N, R, P. With the setup I have now its 1, 2, D, N, R, P. With the ratchet shifter it takes 4 bumps to get it into Drive, then 2 more to get it into first.

4l60e. The thing is you have to becareful when going from first to drive that you dont hit neutral. I want to just smack the shifter up and not have it go to neutral.
