Yes it's possible. And definanty gonna cost a lot.

In an automatic, the valve body controls what gear is selected through the operation of a network of valves that act as a result of hydraulic pressure being applied to it, which is determined by engine RPMs and the speed of the car. A manual valve body holds the pressure and does not operate the valves automatically. Instead, the driver uses the shift lever to operate the valves and thus shift. There are two shift patterns associated with manual valve bodies, forward and reverse. This simply indicates the direction the shift lever must be moved to either upshift or downshift. For your application, you would want a forward pattern. Your shifter currently is setup as such: P R N OD D 2 1
Park, Reverse and Nuetral would still have the same function. 1 will equal first gear, 2 will be second, D will be third gear and OD will be fourth. The transmission will NOT shift automatically when put in D or OD as they are now solely dedicated to 3rd and 4th gear, respectively.

I was under the impression that the computer controled all the shifting and all the is left of the vavle body is basicly a manual shift valve body.
I have rebuild a few 700r4's back in the day, I just assumed 90% of the valve body changed with the PCM.

Actually thats a good point, but I am pretty sure the electronic aspect is the fact that a solenoid is used to control the amount of fluid from the pump, instead of the governor valve used in non-electronically controlled transmissions. But the valve body still operates based on the amount of pressure allowed by the electronic system or governor valve.
