So is this Correct info or steer clear?

Not quite, it allows you to do so after the Valve Body has been modified. A stock VB will not lock in manual 2nd or 1st, they will not lock in 1st gear while in D either, nor will they allow a 4-3 locked downshift.

Some JB weld placed here will get you 2nd lockup

Here is a better overview of where you will be placing it.

This shows the passage through the separator plate that you are ultimately blocking.

He had second gear lockup up but lost it and is wondering if it could be a simple issue, such as a plug falling out
 
You guys can ask spence if it works if you don't believe me... Trust me, when I finally figured out how to do it I was dumbfounded that it was so simple.
 
I know jb weld is strong, but I find it hard to believe that any company would use that in a valve body.
 
Mine is a stock VB and I have 2nd gear luck up IF I have it shifted manually in 2nd.
If it's in D it won't lock till 3rd :-\


Edit, forgot to ask.
If that's done and your driving in D will it lock in 2nd then 3rd 4th etc?

I built a pretty thick dam just for insurance, I dont think it will ever come apart though.

What about tapping it for a pipe plug lol? I guess ill pull mine apart this week and see if this works and report back. Also going to go with some jd hydragard to try and lower my stall a bit. Spence do you have my number? If so text me.

a stock VB will lock 2nd manual if you take off from a stop, it will not if you put it in manual 2nd.

what these guys are going for is manual 2ndgear lock.
