I'd correct that if the forum would only let me.

I had initially written those comments stating the direct clutch,but for some reason that got changed to state the forward clutch when I rewrote these comments to post here,I occasionally do such when I dont post on a topic right away,I do a rough draft in MS notepad and then I work from that rough draft to post here later.

I stopped to have supper,I guess I mixed those two up in the process.

I'll have to go back and double check the feed circuit diagrams and see if this still makes any sense.

I just know I had the same type of problem when I tried that lip seal deal and did'nt block the reverse feed in the center support.

And it would stand to reason that if that seal had been overlooked or damaged that too could cause the same condtion.

The direct only applies in Drive (3rd gear) and reverse,so the back-feed and low-reverse band apply connection is a bit fuzzy I agree.

But that was how my trans acted with that issue.

That trans had the TCI trans scat super II valvebody kit in it.

I think what was happening is the pressure intended to operate the low-reverse servo in manual low was infact exhausting itself via the direct clutch circuit back-feed deal as that circuit is not active in manual low,and the TCI valve body kit might have contributed to the situation.

Hope that clears my comments up a little...
