Torqueflite Manual Valve Body - Reversed-pattern - 1960-1964 - Pushbutton Only on 2040-parts.com

Reversed-pattern, full-manual control valve body for use with all 1962-1964 Torqueflite 727’s and 1960-1964 Torqueflite 904’s with PUSHBUTTONS. The DRIVE button becomes low gear and the FIRST button becomes high gear (buttons can be dis-assembled, modified and re-assembled to cause them to be labelled correctly). Shift pattern on the buttons with this valve body becomes: R-N-1-2-D; reverse-pattern design originated with the 1964 Race Hemi program. Because these valve bodies were intended for drag racing purposes there is NO DECELERATION BRAKING in LOW gear, the vehicle will “free-wheel”; all other gears operate as usual. The full-manual control operation eliminates the need for “kickdown” linkage/throttle-pressure linkage. The “SECOND” to “DRIVE” shift with this valve body is very crisp; the “LOW” to “SECOND” shift is abupt and tends to “chirp” the tires with any appreciable throttle opening. The “LOW” to “SECOND” shift can be mellowed by backing off on the throttle when making the shift and re-applying the throttle after “SECOND” gear engages. Valve body is assembled with “Hustle Stuff” – “Direct Connection” parts (supplied by Chrysler from the mid-1960’s through the late 1970’s); machine work and manufacture done by Pat Blais Transmissions (Seattle) with 48+ years in the Torqueflite business. NOTE: customer to transfer the manual lever (w/cable adapter), manual valve, detent ball & spring, and kickdown shaft from their original automatic valve body when installing this manual valve body. Supplied with new shift cable ‘O’ ring and throttle lever shaft seal. When any rear-wheel-drive Mopar is drag raced or driven in a high-performance manner there is a danger of rear differential failure, driveshaft breakage or Torqueflite overrunning clutch failure any of which can lead to severe transmission damage and possible serious injury to the vehicle occupants; it is therefore HIGHLY recommended that a transmission shield or “blanket” be installed on the vehicle. An option is to install an aluminum front clutch drum, billet steel drum or steel-banded aluminum drum for increased safety; we stock the TCS brand. Also available: manual valve bodies for 1964-1965 CONSOLE or COLUMN shift cars and 1966-1989 mechanical shifte-linkage cars. Shipping $ 18.95 via Priority Mail; Postal Insurance available for $ 5.10.
