"Switching" = Very quick change!!:beer:
"Shifting" = Slow, mushy change??:eek::beer:

Its done to the tranny to make you shifts feel tighter and quicker. I think its a few springs removed or somethings like that similar to doing a shift kit on the AOD....But just the tune alone helps that out alot.

I beg to differ. Ive driven 4 Trilogy cars and they all shifted like slush without trans work.

Doom can tell you he rode with me and mine threw him back in his sit everytime I had a shift. But I wouldnt mind doing it to my ride. Just gotta find a tranny shop in the are I can trust.

Call Darrin....He's a great guy who can help you out!!:beer:

PS: You can do the J-mod yourself for about $35.00 and a few hours rolling in trans fluid on the garage floor!!:eek:

This writeup is about as good as any and the photos and a big help though for older trans!!:beer:

Pretty straight forward and the only cautions/suggestions I would offer:
1. Loosen the valve body and drain it well before removing.....minimize "fluid shower"!!:rolleyes:
2. Get a GOOD set of snap ring pliers and use a bottle jack to hold the 1-2 accumulator base in place while removing snap ring or the base, springs and piston will FLY out.....WOW....where'd it go??!! :mad2:
Otherwise a very simple and VERY effective modification!!:bows:
