Default Questions about Valve Bodies?

Alrighty, So I have an automatic, and it's boring me now. Performance just isn't good enough. I want to be able to shift it myself nicely.

So i'm digging through a catalog at the bodyshop where I work and it was mustangs unlimited I think, either way under the automatic transmissions section I found Vavle Bodies. Not very familiar with at all.

So I see AODE Full Manual Reverse Pattern Valve Bodies accordingly they are designed with performance in mind, "have completely re-engineered fluid circuit(s) to eliminate inconsistent computer operations. Now the advantage of the AODE/4R70W transmissioncan be accesed by those racers without a computer! The "no flare" reverse manual body is complete and ready to install."

Blah blah, it goes on to say it requires fully manual shifting and no longer operates on automatic shifting allowing for higher line pressure and safe manual shifting of the automatic transmission.

Anyway, I have no idea esentially. I pretty much just want to be able to shift my manual transmission safely, and eliminate the automatic shifts.

Would this be what I'm looking for, or no?

If not how would I go about accomplishing full manual shifting in my auto?

First, "valve covers" go on the motor. That being said, you're correct. The manual valve body will require that you shift the auto tranny manually. ALL the time.

Aha, the manual vavle bodies would requrie fully manual shifting. This being said,

would the above specified valve bodies be what I am looking for, and would they work properly with my current setup?
