Turbo 350 Valve Body

Charlie Laraia · 02-26-2014, 01:23 PM

I hope some of you guys can steer me in the right direction. Can you recommend a valve body for my T350? There are many choices as far as brands, band apply, non band apply etc. Unlike everything else I have done to my car, I want to make the right choice and only buy a valve body one time.

(I do not want a trans brake).

Thank you all in advance.

Call Coan, their 350 stuff works.

ATI reverse pattern no band apply. Make sure you take the band out and make the other modifications in the instructions.

I have very limited automatic transmission knowledge. What is your reason for this. Not trying to be a smart @@@ just wanting to learn a little more. Thanks Doug

If you're not using the 2nd brake band, it is a liability, it is in the way, and with the no band apply valve body, there's really nothing to hold it in place.

The instructions will also have you remove or modify a few other parts.

Ok. That part I understand now. Are you familiar with the Turbo Action Cheetah valve body with auto 1-2. It doesn't engine brake in 1st gear. Would that be the same no band apply as what your achieving with the ATI reverse pattern with no band apply?
