I'm not sure what you're asking here, but I'll give my input.

I'm running a full manual, that still utilizes the pressure sensor. I can't LU or OD if my pressure is too low. I like it like that, kinda like a little safety feature. I kept the functional tv so I can keep shifts decent when putting around in low speed zones. I still keep LU and OD on switches, computer has no control over them.

You could go constant pressure, and not need any wiring except voltage to and ground from LU and OD.

So with your TV cable still being used,low speed low throttle shifts with your manual vb are still quick there just not as firm?is that what your saying? I see what your doing still using the pcm with the governor and you just eliminated your pcm from having control over lockup and od by running them to switches. My only thing with a constant pressure vb is I'm not sure how much I would like that on the street.whats your opinion?

They're still quick, but they're quicker when I get up in rpm lol. And yes, they aren't as violent this way. I haven't ran a constant pressure yet, I also do not think I'd like it on the street, especially when towing.

What shifter are you using?any pics of the setup?

[madmikeismad]

cheetah. I can't find any pictures. I can get one though.

im more curious to the way you have the linkage setup at the transmission if you have any pics of that

That came with the shifter. Extremely simple. just a clamp on the line right above the rear of the pan, and it clips onto the linkage arm on the side of the trans. I'll get a picture.

I got the b&m megashifter so I'm guessing mines differant.i don't really like the way mines setup

sent the valvebody to georend and decided to go full manual.i also ordered up a tv cable so ill be installing that also. hopefully with a tv cable installed i wont have anymore stalling issue's.

I think you're going to be happy with what you're doing.

i think so to,its the best of both worlds i think but maybe its just me. really having a hard time getting this ratchet shifter mounted perfectly how i want it.ive made about 3 differant mounts and locations so far and still dont like either the looks or functionality of any of them.
