Anyone running a 904 behind a 340?

That's a bit of a messy mixed up answer..
I think you will find, that's what happens when you use a valve body without rear band apply.
The sprag is not designed to take shock loading, no matter how many rollers you shove in there.
I have seen plenty of race built TF's with stock sprags in them and rear band apply valve bodies.
How do you get a clean 1-2 shift with a manual shift non transbrake valve body that has low band apply. Think about that.
John Cope sells that.
