I may be wrong but someone else will chime in
Correct, unless you build around it with a kit, line pressure isn't sustained before the shift and clutch pack overlap is compromised. It's not going to suddenly do anything, just not the best idea to do all day. A cooler helps, but its still wear. A kit or manual valve body will allow for sustained line pressure even outside ECU programed shift schedules.cruising at that speed is fine........
But in order to do that your manually shifting and I thought that changes line pressure yada yada and is bad to do? I'm not a tranny guy but I remember the topic of manual shifting coming up before and reading some bad comments about it.....
better without the shift into 3rd. I don't generally shift often up into 3rd. I usually make that change while waiting at one of the many stop signs / traffic lights that I hit. Sign to sign is where I go slow and like how it sounds in 2nd.
costs next to nothing and is easy and can be.......
While the Jmod effects how the shift is delivered, it focuses on scheduled shifts so the ecu is still upping line pressure before the shift. This is why i used both the j mod and a stg II kit.Sounds like a JMOD is in order??
The kit doesn't come with a new valve body, just a lot of parts that change it. There are a few overlapping areas in that the full J-mod has recommended accumulator piston/spring parts and the kit come with certain parts. I did the J-mod when it was a choice, everything else is mainly drilling the valve body to spec, then used the rest of the kit's parts. Really is a great trans, never any problems or noises.ya.....i'm not a expert tranny guy, as you probably know. But wouldn't it be either the JMOD or the stg II kit? I'm assuming shift kits come with new valve bodies that already have the diff diameter holes.
