TH400's are whiny. if you are going with a GM 3 speed, stick with a TH350, if you must have a 4spd, a 700r4 will do you just fine. sometimes, actually most times yes, the "auto" trans has to be shifted, its called a manual valve body, and most times its a reverse manual valve body...
Copied from another post of mine:

reverse manual valve body...
instead of being (and this is for an A4)
p
R
N
4
3
2
1
it is reversed so it is
P
R
N
1
2
3
4
and as i stated above, its a manual valve body, so i have to make every shift manually. whichever gear i put my auto in, it stays...regardless. i just dont use a clutch or mess with the time delay with powershifting. jus slap the stick and go. (i say "slap" cus i also have a reverse lockout so it wont inadvertently go into reverse when im downshifting)
also, running a reverse valve body is the only way to run a trans brake as you effectively put the trans in 1st and reverse at the same time, which allows you to spin the trans and stall up the motor to your ideal rpm, then when the light drops, push a button and you go.

it doesnt depend on the shift kit, it depends on the valve body.
and you wouldnt be talking about an 11 sec LT1 with only bolt-ons would you?
