J-MODed Valve body on Ebay !

[BeeDamn]

Hello guys,

What do you guys think of this Valve body ? it has a J-mod done to it.
I want to buy it to install it in my 2003 MM because in my area there's no one can do this mod as I know.

So I need your advise guys should I buy it or not :)

Thank you.

I wouldn't trust it. I would highly recommend doing the JMOD yourself. If I can do it, you certainly can!

[justbob]

It requires a drill, a drill bit, and 3rd grade equivalent reading skills to do a Jmod.. If you can remove a valve body, you've already done half the job!

I wouldn't buy a used valve body to begin with.

[BeeDamn]

Thanks for your supporting replay guys.
But I watched the official J-mod video and hell no I cant do that !!!
I don't know how you guys doing it without putting the gear DOWN.
It's really hard for me to do it :(

I guess it's a bad idea to buy a used one huh !!

Yes, don't buy used.

Just print out the jmod instructions, bring to a transmission shop that knows how to rebuild a Ford 4R70W.

Buy an aftermarket tans pan with a drain plug too and bring it with you.
Can't imagine them charging more than 100 to do it.

I can get you a separator plate and gaskets, modify it and send it to you. You'll need someone local to install it and do the rest of the j-mod.

I wouldn't trust an unknown eBay piece, but fastblackmerc I would trust all day long.

He's in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Prolly not a great selection of Ford 4R70W tranny shop specialist.

True but there are alot of "panther platform" vehicles in K.S.A.

[RubberCtyRauder]

He also has a po box in Delaware to send stuff to, so no worries of overseas shipping and customs.

Thanks everyone for the effort.
So if I got a j-mod plates what else remaining to do the job ?
The drilling is easy I guess but the rest of the job is difficult to do my self :(
I'll try to find a good trans mechanic and ask him if he can.
IIRC no need to drop the trans right ? just the valve body correct me if i'm wrong.

Thank you

Did you watch the video?

[BeeDamn]

I watch it maybe ten times also I download it in my workplace to watch it in break time, but I don't know why it's too much for me to do it. The video explanation is so good and clear but I guess I need to practically see it better than watching it!

I am sure the KSA has a tranny dude around. From YouTube;

Personally, I dislike this video. Volume is inadequate, and he begins by thanking two people. Just two.

What about some thanks to Jerry Wroblewski?

Anyway, hope this helps, good luck!

[BeeDamn]

Thanks Mr.SergntMac but this is the video that I was referring too.

Excuse me, didn't see that. Seems we both posted at the same time. Good luck!

[BeeDamn]

No problem friend :) I think I'll buy anew valve body already J-moded :(

[fastblackmerc]

Your still going to need someone to install it.....

[BeeDamn]

Well Installing the Valve body is easier than doing the J-mod I think.
I try to find a good trans Mechanic first.

Wrong again. Easier to do than to remove and install..

Oh my GOD :bigcry: what shall I do :( I need to study it hard I think !

[fastblackmerc]

If you won't attempt a j-mod, how are you going to do the Eaton swap?

[2mercs]

What about a service manual? Does it cover valve body removal?

[BeeDamn]

At least the eaton swap is not as complicated as the Transmission in my opinion.
BTW I'm searching for one to do the swap :D but of course i'll try first.

Now I realized why ERIC THE CAR GUY said that the Transmission need a Technician not a mechanic :(

[BeeDamn]

I don't really know, but if it does I'm getting one for sure.

[justbob]

Eaton swap is 30 times the amount of work than a Jmod. And there is no video.

[RF Overlord]

If I can do it, then ANY competent mechanic should be able to either follow the J-mod instructions, or swap a valve body. There are no special tools needed.

Ahh, did not notice that.

Perhaps he can go to one of these places:
