I pulled this thing down again to check to make sure all the valves were not sticking. I also did some more research on my valve body..On the TransGo sight I found that a valve body with a C8 casting on it will not shift in manual mode. If you start in 1st it stays in first, start in second it stays in 2nd.
I not sure if that's correct or not but it really doesn't matter right now cause the car chucked a rod in the burn out box.
