Not too bad man, hey i have got to ask.. WTF is a jerry mod? Is that some kind of ghetto rigged mod? Thats what it sounds like.

Spike_africe did it for me, basics are you drop the valve body and drill larger holes in the seperator plates to allow more fluid to flow and grab harder so its barks the tires and **** like a stick shift would.

Yeah, my tune makes it do the same thing. If you combine the j-mod and the tune, you get ridiculous results.

J-mod is good stuff on auto cars and its cheap to do too. You mod the valve body in the tranny to allow more fluid to flow faster to the bands and more fluid in general to flow so they do not slip as much and thus creates less heat and holds the band harder for a stronger tranny.

As for raising the line pressure in your tunes, I blew my first tranny in my F150 doing that. It makes the pump work hard trying to keep up with the depmand. I would raise it a bit but not much. I would rather mod the valve body.

Good times, you need to fix that exhaust leak to get some more power cause I know that's hurting you right now. I'm very surprized by the 60' times with stock convertor and gears you are getting 2.0xx 60' is good.

I know they are two different transmissions, i just was curious of this J mod and just was stating it sounded risky drilling bigger holes.

Yeah Spike, its not that firm of a shift.. I mean it'll chirp tires, but its nothing too hard. No one has ever blown a tranny from this on the 05+ GT yet, or atleast on my forums.. Im not worried, im at 27,300miles and i've had it on the same tune since 7,000.. I beat the **** out of it too.. It may never happen(knock on wood), or it may break along way down the road but for now, it is perfect and i have no problems.

How long does it take for you to get to OSW?

RetroGT: the J-mod came from the man who designed the tranny for Ford. He is a thunderbird guy and he is the one who told everyone about what you need to do to the tranny. Needless to say he knows what he is talking about when it comes to the 4r70w tranny.

yea, the sct pretty much took care of my jerry modding.. but i must say, if you run at the track with a v6 with non-lsd, its really worse to bark going into 2nd, when i went it would completely lose traction and make my times suck..

Just needs a $40 rebuild kit from ebay and some of your time to rebuild it and make it tight again.
