I appreciate the advice. Do you think switching to a 3.8 lever would help with the overlap at all, especially if my front clutch has 12 springs rather than 15?
Happy to help! Yes it should help some especially with the potential of 12 springs in the front clutch. Part of why you’re feeling the 2-3 overlap more is because you have a reverse manual valve body, which typically carries higher line pressure than a stock valve body. Although a stock valve body will technically have more 2-3 overlap than a reverse manual, a stock valve body is used to a front clutch with 3-4 frictions and ton of clearance with different friction material. Reverse manual is best way to go, but when you combine all the little details such as valve body, shift lever ratio, servo style, front clutch spring count, front clutch clearance, firm shifting ATF, all those little things add up to a 2-3 overlap that your going to feel pretty good at low speeds.
