I build race transmissions and custom build them for what the customer wants. I will not build and sell a customer an internal shift or brake valve body for that reason. They are just a problem.
My 2 Cents
My dad has had the same one in his S/R car for as long as I can remember, at least the early 90's, with absolutely no problems. It's proved itself to me, thats why I have one.
