clinebarger, what it the reason for the 8th check ball kit i have read about?

An 8th checkball was added to slow the release of the Lo/Reverse Clutch, This is a Non-Issue, Without the checkball....You may notice/feel a "clunk" as the Lo/Reverse clutch comes off. I personally like the clutch to come off as soon as possible.
This reminds me of the TH400's in the 60's & 70's......The Cadillac's/Buick's/Oldsmobile's had a restricted orifice at the Lo/Reverse Band feed to soften apply & slow the release of the band. The truck TH400's did not have the orifice because Plowing/Backing Trailers/Getting stuck could quickly burn the band up if the operator did not allow time for the band to come off or come on.
