Will a manual valve body raise the temp in a 727?
« on: July 23, 2017 - 06:43:12 PM »
Hey gang,

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know if a manual valve body will raise the temp in a 727 TF trans? If it makes any difference, it's a reverse valve body with no trans brake. This is in my chally but I was reading something on the A body forum about how the manual valve body will block a vent or something. Ever heard of anything like that?

I have a reverse manual valve body. Would think that with the crispness of the shift,
less heat would be generated.  Has worked great for 17 years.

Instant shifts make the tranny last longer
