Aftermarket Valvebodies

the TA cheetah manual valve body can be had with or without 1st gear braking.....your choice..

got a TA cheetah VB that I bought back in 1983....used it again last year in a 71 Duster...

Probably get used again in a 73 Duster.....

I believe this is true? only in forward pattern. I don't think any reverse pattern bodies have 1st gear "apply."

I don't even remember who made mine, I bought it used, have to look it up. It's reverse pattern.

LORD is that thing "quick" You can sit at a light, and bump it into low and IT IS IN GEAR and I mean right NOW. On a side note, I don't drive my car in winter, but a manual body would be GREAT for driving in the snow!!!! as you could lock it in 2nd or even 3rd
