Have you thought about installing a Trans-Go shift kit and a higher stall converter in your 518. This will save you a lot of time and money. I instaled The Trans-Go kit in my 92 Dakota. It will shift great when left in drive or when shifted manually. Then you pull the lever it shifts. You can adjust the shift point from 5000 to 7200 rpm then it is in drive. There 518 overdrive kit uses the same springs and valves that the 727 kit uses plus some other parts used for the over drive unit.
