I'm glad Tom Goldman brought up the valve bodies. With my 727 Torqueflite program I have a couple of different types, one is the old school Turbo Action full manual reverse pattern and the other is an A&A reverse pattern with first gear band apply. With the TA, first is neutral off the gas, allowing me to shift backwards through 2,1 and into neutral. With the A&A valve body 1st is 1st and a bad idea at speed. I don't shut it off on the big end anymore to keep myself from doing something stupid. Is there anything wrong with just letting off the gas and slowing down in third?
