Exploding Torqueflites

Low reverse band apply is nice. I have been running TA valve bodies since the 70's without the low reverse band apply and have always been careful enough to never have a problem. I also taught my son how to drive his street car with one on the street as I have driven a street car without the L/R band apply on the street since 1997. I build my own transmissions and have always been careful. And I like the quality of Turbo Action parts but I too will be getting a L/R apply next time I have to buy a valve body. Ron
