TomoHawk Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 I see a lot of hotrods with ratchet shifters lately, so I'm just wondering if it's possible to convert the 4N71B (Maxima trans) to a manual shift/valve body? thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76s30 Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 give Level 10 a call they might have a valve body for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomoHawk Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Can you tell me some more about the Level 10 people first? I browsed the website (http://www.levelten.com) and it looks like they only have torque converters & transmissions. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76s30 Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 level ten can build just about any auto/converter set up worth running. they also carry performance valve bodies, real shift kits, performance rebuild kits. everything auto. best to call them and talk to a real person.

TomoHawk Posted May 19, 2007 Author Share Posted May 19, 2007 Thanks, I will call them sometime to see what they can do. I'm not exactly sure that a full-manual valve body is a good thing. Internet research suggests you could miss a shift & hurt your trans, but that goes for a manual shift trans too. This applid mainly to the early Mopar torqueflites. The reason I thought the manual valve body would be cool is because B&M makes (or used to) an H-gated shifter for autos (Ford AOD?) It might not be too good in a cruising Z with an O/D trans because you're not supposed to shift with the lockup on either. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
