Q. My transmission recently started slipping (shifting late, early, not upshifting, etc.) will your valve body kit fix it?

The valve body kit is intended to change the behavior of a properly functioning transmission, and cannot cure recently developed problems. Recently developed problems are generally the result of wear, and the valve body kit will not correct it. If you have recently purchased your vehicle, and are unsure if the behavior is normal, please contact us and we will be happy to help you determine if you have a transmission problem, or if your transmission is operating as the factory intended.

Q. Can I increase my 2-3 shift point at WOT (Wide Open Throttle) without increasing my 1-2 WOT shift point?

While our AOD valve body kit does allow you to increase all of the WOT shift points, it won't allow them to be increased individually. This is a limitation of the valve body hydraulics, therefore, the 2-3 shift point will always be lower than the 1-2 shift point, unless you shift manually.
