Pretty standard TH-400 with rollerized gear train, good sprag, good drum, Coan standard brake valve body.

The Griner trans brake is the Cadillac, and features a clean neutral.

Dave----I don't think all of these guys realize that the ability to go from high gear straight to neutral would not be in the shifter---it would be in the valve body----regardless what the shifter specs or manufacturer are. Thanks again.
