Message: [QUOTE="D66stroke, post: 1347236, member: 7886"] I'm by no means a trans builder, I've never pulled a trans apart. But I've messed with valve body's in e4od's and 4r's over the years between owning them, reading up on them, doing mods, etc.. I can't stand a smooth shift, but nobody wants to be in a neck brace after driving their truck either. What do you trans builders think is the best "combination" of mods for a nice crisp shift? You have your drilled out calibration plates, modulator valve/sleeve's (.427" and .500"), stiffer(?) springs found in shift kits, tuning, and even DIY mods such as drilling out the body itself for more flow, which I have experience with and it works. I'm about to do a valve body for a friend and trying to see the best way to go about it. If it was my truck I'd throw a $20 .427 or .500 valve in there and call it a day but I guess I'm questioning the fact why do these trans builders do multiple VB mods and use these $100+ kits when one little $20 valve is all that's needed for a firm shift? Not trying to get shut down by the pro's haha, but just curious [/QUOTE]
