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.

I just had my trans rebuilt by eddie at southern hotrod he did the valve body mods and it shifts a lot better than stock.

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

Sorry Jangy, we do not sell kits.

Our 722.6-HTCk costs $4899 + shipping.

We will need your transmission sent to us for modification.

If you have ANY questions, please give us a call @ 888-244-4364.

Thank you!

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.
