I thought stock valve body 727's did not engage the rear band in low. I know that some aftermarket valve bodies/shift kits do not engage the rear band in low gear. I know that this something you HAVE to make sure your transmission has or you can detonate the sprag if you don't drive it right. Burnouts being the main thing.
Torqueflite's apply the low/reverse band when you pull the shifter down in manual low. They just don't apply the band in drive.
