Jmod
I know I asked this in that other thread... but I don't wanna threadjack, so I'll just make this...
How does the Jmod work exactly? I know it makes the car shift better, and prolongs the life of the tranny... but I'm just curious as to what it is... I saw VAP isn't selling the kit anymore, but saw that I can send some part in and the guy will do the jmod and send it back...  how easy is it to get this part out to send to them... something I can do, or something I should take to a shop (I don't know shit about transmissions, obviously)I've done a lot of searching on it, but I never notice anyone include it with their mods list... so is this just a decent mod, or more of an "if you're an auto and don't have a jmod, you fail" kind of mod...

its one of those things ya just dont ask...ya do
 actually i think it has something to do with the transfer of the fluid and giving more pressure in the right place or something along those lines

ah ok... so one of those, you have an auto and no jmod, you fail at life kind of mods...
mostly was interested cause I saw I can get a discount if I get it and the intake spacer together... any idea what part I would be sending in... or any of that? And damn, I just realized I'm gonna have to find another car to drive for a while while that's sent out... hope my POS van can make it all the way across town...haha

I had not seen those, thanks Woody. With my tuner, I set my shifts to hard- should I still look at the Jmod, shift kit and tranny cooler? I like the idea of extending the life of my tranny if I can.

ok, so I just realized I'm a dumbass...
I was planning on just taking the valve body out of my car, and let my car sit until I can send it and get it back from VAP... but then realized I could just go to a junk yard and get a cheap ass one there... so I can still use my car... what cars have the 4r70w? I know mustangs obviously, but there's not too many of those in the junkyards that I've been to... does the ranger or anything else have it?

Truck valve bodies are different then the ones in Mustangs.
You need to look for a 99 or newer Mustang valve body and seperator plate.

he's out of stock, but if you send in your valve body, he'll perform the jmod, and send it back...
