]Okay I have 89 iroc z-28 with a built 350 and turbo 350 with a reverse valve body. Im a girl and I my boyfriend doesnt want to teach me how to drive it with the reverse valve So I am looking for a different tranny That shifts normally but wont turn it into a grandma... Anyone have any advice?

 

are you trying to say reverse valve body?

get a reverse Valve Body shifter to help you out (installed)
it will be less money/then a new tranny.

tell us more about your Car,

 

Hmmm - it's YOUR car, right. Maybe he's not teaching you because he doesn't know how (I wouldn't know how either, but I'd love to learn!). Keep the car, keep the transmission, go to the local dragway and find a guy (or girl) that will teach the both of you how to drive it!

 

Yes! LMFAO;0) It's my car. No he knows how, he's just too damn stubborn to let me sit in the driver seat and have him walk me through it.

 

Yes reverse, isnt that what I said? UUggghhh! Im so effin frustrated right now! It already has that damn shifter in it. He is adiment that we find a new tranny. Soooo... I am looking for one! I asked him what I should be looking for specifically, he tells me a 700r4 for a v8. But there has to be more than one option for a tranny, right? or cant we do somethin with what weve got?

 

He sounds like a Dink who is just jelous, if you insist on going back to a normal pattern, its easier n cheaper to just put in a regular valve body, but its not rocket science to learn how to shift it, the D 2 1 gearing is just backwards, so when racing, you can go into N R or P by accident.

Its just backwards then normal.

Tell him you decided to find a new BF instead of a new trans.

 

...

 

Yep.


It is YOUR car, YOUR choice, not his. Tell him guys are easier to replace than transmissions.

 

Maybe you should have figured out how to drive the thing before you bought it?Who know's maybe she's the one that is the "dink", could be the bf is preventing her from wrecking the car. Lol stereotypes exist for a reason.
I'd never trust my gf in anything more than a 4 cyl. >_> Few girls can handle the power or complicated mechanics of some stuff lol!

 

Now that's just My wife drives the hell out of a 1997 Z28 LT1! She's 41, and she has no problem stomping some 17 year old rice_r into the ground !

I agree - men are easy, get a new guy.

So, it's just an automatic but it goes P 1 2 D OD N and R at the bottom instead of P R N OD D 2 1 at the bottom?

Yoda said it best ... ""Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try."

Grab the keys and go - just make sure your insurance is paid up! And turn the cell phone off!

 

FYI to the moron who should be in the "SMALL GENI" forum rather than this one,I'm pretty sure I could hop in any car as right now and spank the **** out of anything you own. So unless you have any constructive criticism "SHUT THE HELL UP!"

P.S.
You probably drive a 4 cylinder

 

Now thats some funny stuff. Tell your man to help you out and if he's not willing to teach you how to drive this car, someone else is.

 

Its really amazing what you can find on facebook... It really seems that the camaro belongs to your boyfriend(Im willing to bet money his name is Cameron) There is no real challenge to driving to driving a car with a reverse pattern valve body, other than maybe the fact that he dosnt want you to drive it. And next time, before you talk **** on the internet, consider not using your full name as your username. Have a nice day

 

Really? Dont you just look like a dumbass. CLEARLY His maro is 86 and mine is a 89. Dumb ***! Look more closely before you go poppin off at the mouth...

 

The most common RPVB shift pattern for a TH350 should go P-R-N-1-2-3, and typically IS full manual as well. I find the novelty wears off quickly, then it's annoying.
I suggest the BEST solution is to convert back to a 700R-4. You'll love the deeper first gear, you'll love the overdrive, and you'll love the lockup torque converter.

 

Id bet if someone built it, and did the R-VB they changed first gear and added the 5th clutch plate.
----

valarieadair a piece of tape and a marker can be laied down near the shifter to help clue you in till you get the hang of it.

 

Those low-ratio gear sets aren't all that popular, and I doubt the OP has the lower ratios. They add about $500 to the cost, because GM didn't make them.

 

Maybe by a shop that is greedy , only cost me $1150 to have a TH350 built n shipped from AZ to Ohio with all the speed goodies except for the R-VB.
[why AZ, I wanted it built by somone I know and trust.]

 

Seems like he's jealous of his girlfriend running a Camaro with a hot little 350 in there. Who knows.

It's just the opposite of a regular valve body, that's what I was told once.

So I imagine instead of P-R-N-D-D-2-1 it'd be 1-2-D-D-N-R-P.

I know a lot of guys who are into drag racing think those come in handy, since it's a little bit easier to pull back to the next gear, instead of try to inch the shifter forward without slipping and hitting the next gear after that.

 

Why so insistent? Is it possible that he wants to swap so he can put it in his car later? If it's modified it might have some nice performance parts in it and be better than the one he has.

 

Yes I do drive a 4 cylinder, it is called a CBR 1000, and it will spank your car without a doubt. At least I know how to drive MY camaro.
Next year when I finish saving up for my ZX-14 in cash, would also like to see what you are bringing to the table. Lol blowing up on people only shows how immature you are.

Also what do you mean by built? That is such a thrown around and vague term anymore. How do you know the engine is built, but can't figure out how to use the transmission?
How did it get to your house? Why didn't/don't you ask the PO?

Surprised everyone jumps on the giving dating advice trying to get some e-*****.

 

dude are u serious get a life nobody cares about your rocket this is a 3rd gen forum not a i love rice forum and you sitting there saying stereotypes exist for a reason is just way too 30's sorry we dont live in that world anymore unless ur 80 u dont even know what thats like women can do just as much **** as guys other than physical most the time that just genes nothin they can help but sitting here talking **** is just pathetic... lets be serious here. this forum isnt here for sht talkin its here for ppl to communicate and get advice from fellow 3rd gen owners...so either post something useful or shut the hell up and drive YOUR camaro into a ****ing wall for all i care i have no respect for ****** like you... sorry valarie... but from what i know and how i understand it all a reverse valve body does is makes the pattern backwards so the advice givin above should do u justice... ps sounds like ur bf just dont wanna lose to his girl might hurt his pride or somethin... ill tell ya right now i raced my ex she was driving her 1998 gtp with exhaust and pulley i was in my stock 84 monte ls she whooped me in front of everyone we knew and i thought it was the sexiest thing i ever saw imho... but for some homos thats too much for there friends see them get whooped by a girl kinda like the homo who couldnt threaten ya with his maro he had to talk about his rocket instead cause hes prolly runnin a stock carbed 305 with 200,000 miles on it

 

E-Thuggin it. Remember, this is internet, Serious biznASS! LOL keep tryin for that e-*****. I asked legitimate questions whether you like to acknowledge it or not. Perhaps your limited vocabulary and pre-pubescent animal instincts blinded that.
Why would I race my cheap, slow DD? When you have options of speed, you don't put your worst foot forward. It's called logic, another thing you obviously know nothing about LOL.
Go back to sleep to get up early for your McDonalds job you screwy half-wit.

 

Enough already.
