Valve body mods??
Anyone do valve body mods on the tranny for a crisper shift? I was trying to think of something simple that will give any results. Anyone know if the AMG Manufactuer bone heads have any hardware upgrades that go along with the TCU one? Still blows my mind that AMG has mods that we don't get access to. Just bone headed.

There is no "kit" available. You would have to send out your valve body and have it modified. IF they even offer that service seperately.

I would not recommend them. I cancelled my valve body order from them and took over a month of calling and bugging them to get my money back.

I dont know how much the valve body costs form mb Jangy

Yep,
We modify our valve bodies specifically for the proprietary Kevlar clutches we designed to replace the problematic stock paper clutches which will burn under high torque.
