[Lostnwalmart]

Bad ground of course...

I would call him and ask him what he did different to the VB to make it lockup in 2nd. Maybe it came undone?

You mean they don't all lock up in 1st too?

 

[Lostnwalmart]

Lol nope. I talked to him today and he was stumped or he just didn't feel like thinking about it. I shouldn't say friend, more like friend of a friend who did a few favors for a guy but took a mars year to do anything.

Did you gesture the man with a taco? Or boat? No man should work for free.

let me see if I can explain this. there are 2 ways of getting lockup in manual forward gears one way allows lockup in 2nd manual and above and the other allows lockup in all forward gears. since you had 2nd through 4th lockup your valve body has 2 holes in the overdrive seperator plate plugged, converter timing valve and spring flipped, and a .110" hole drilled through the lower housing, so my guess would be that whatever your builder used to plug the holes in the seperator plate has come out, because you still have lockup in 3rd which a factory valvebody will allow. I would put money on a plug has come out. I hope I was helpful and somewhat clear.

I have never had any problems with mine, but that being said I am sure dave is a smarter man than I so.

 

[YOUNG GUNS15]

RE should be able to lock in 2nd.

I actually ordered my georend 47rh Vb through Ashley at BlacksDieselPerformance and he just told today me that Dave doesnt do 1st gear lockup on the RH but he will On the RE thought he doesnt like it. ????? For some reason I want 1st-4th lockup real bad lol.

I have a few sitting in the shop, I will take some pics when I can. I'm very interested in this because I've built a couple manual vbs and it would be nice to have lockup in manual 2nd with them.
