Did your local builder call cope to tell him that his valve body was missing a drilled passage. I doubt it. He probably called Cope to tell him that the pressure were way over the top and did not know why. I sure Cope trusted your local builder to trust that he knew how to read a pressure gauge and through the conversation Cope asked him to check a few things and between the two of them Cope realized that a pressure bleed off hole was missing and that was causing the high pressures. Earlier I heard it mentioned of no forward gears at all. Over the top pressures would blow the seals out of the forward clutch causing no drive, no nothing.
