manual valvebody?

[offthewall]

im not a complete mechanical genius so i might be using the wrong terminology but what im wondering is... is there a way to make the alli a "manual valvebody" trans? what im going off of is like a turbo 350 or other gas trannys that work as a normal auto trans but you can manually shift when you "ratchet shift". is this possible? or is there to many electronics on the alli? what im wishing is to make the gear limiter on my "M" gear into this instead of just a top gear limiter.

Cannot be done.

can it be done to some kind of switch or lever or anything else? instead of the switch in the gear shifter.

It would take Allison software to do it and you can't get it.

ok good reason. would something like efi live be able to do it? either way i dont have enough connections or more importantly money:nonod:. but it would be cool though.

Look at post #2.

The ALLISON is so complex in it's shifting that the aftermarket has yet to be able to make a controller to shift one successfully. They've gotten them so they shift somewhat, but not all the time. It's a good tranny, but ALLISON has a lockdown on the controls for it.
