Thanks! It looks like I have something similiar to the arrangement in the bottom of your scan. This is what I've been running last two two years before I lost reverse & found the lo reverse clutches smoked. A couple of years ago I installed a B&M kit, hence the blocker rod for the line bias valve, & no TV modulator upshift spring. I used this for two years & liked it on the Corvette. It has 2.59 gears in the rear so maybe that softened the hard 1-2 shift. But anyway I'm going to get rid of the B&M mods, except maybe leave the tv modulator upshift spring out because you seemed to speak positviely of this, earlier. But I know you said blocker rod in line bias = bad, so I'm getting rid of that, & who knows maybe the B&M stuff contributed to the early demise of the clutches.
