do any companies make a full manual valve body that’s forward pattern. All the ones I see are reverse. Not a trans go kit I need a new valve body

ya, the first 5yrs or so i had it i was using the stock column shifter it will does make you up your game knowing the carnage is only a shift awayI would like to mention the forward shift v/b without a gate installed on the shifter, to prevent pushing thru to neutral is an invitation to disaster. I have attended a few grenaded engines that scattered after the driver, in the adrenalin rush of the moment, pushed thru to neutral, with terminal results. I prefer reverse pattern cuz I can use the stock shifter, and can't push thru. Stock shifters can be modified with a gate for reg pattern. jmo. cheers.
depends on your needs. the cope VB is not just a shift kit on a stock 20yr old valve body. other hand, just running around on the street a good shift kit is sweet.Thanks for mentioning Cope they have a reverse manual for a 500/518 but WOW it’s $1100. Ouch.
Yeah, I got that same response when I bought my valvebody from him. I told him my wife had a hard time driving the car with the reverse pattern because she couldn't get it to neutral easily if she needed to when she brought the car to a stop. He told me she needed to stop being a girl and learn how to drive. She didn't find it as funny as I did.CRT 727-904 Pro Street Forward Manual Valve Body | Cope Racing | Cope Racing
cope racing has an opinion: "Forward manual valve body with low band apply. Not recommended for high horsepower applications
BECAUSE HIGH HORSEPOWER TRANSMISSIONS NEED A HIGH PRESSURES YOU JUST CANT GET FROM A FORWARD MANUAL PLUS, FORWARD MANUAL SHIFTS ARE FOR GIRLS. BE A MAN AND RUN A REVERSE MANUAL VALVE BODY."
