Another one to look at is A&A Transmissions. I have and have had 2 of their manual forward shift valve bodies.They make 'um with or without low band applied.I had one of each. I believe they even have a Manual/Automatic type too.
I was looking at the A&A one, specifically the low band apply. My car has a forward pattern Hurst Quarter Stick and I'd like to keep it that way.
Cope racing does have the forward manual valve body but describes it as a low HP girl car application, something to do with line pressures. I'm not savvy enough on the subject to know the differences between that and a reverse pattern apart from the shifting pattern.
