46re

It does appear that you can install a full manual standard pattern valve body on a 46re and electronically control the od and lockup through grounding switches. The switch provides the solenoid ground for both functions. Downside is you loose all automatic shifting. There is no way to get automatic shifting with the 46re aside from what we’ve discussed earlier in the thread.

Yes this is the conclusion I've drawn as well. The 2wd output shaft and housing don't appear to be very expensive either. Manual shifting an auto is no big deal as long as you chose a shifter that' doesn't turn it into a chore.So this 46re a few blocks away is looking pretty shiny right now.I'll still make him a low offer and give it a real good inspection.It is damaged after all...
