I asked the same question to someone I consider an expert and his opinion is that the neutral on a forward shift is a natural neutral but not a "clean neutral. Something about the path of the fluid in a natural neutral is totally different from a "clean neutral". He has both types of valve bodies and still recommends the clean neutral for shifting on the top end. I bought the clean neutral one for myself. Even though I had to purchase a new shifter also. Oh the PPP is now my shifter of choice.
