Dennis,What's your thought on the automatic tranny line controller? It's supposed to keep the fluid pressure higher for quicker shifts. Do you think the Z's would be applicable on the J?

It depends on where the pressure leaks are and the wear of the clutch material, Generally the timing is set by the software inside the tcu and the lags built into the valve body design.

The friction coefficient of the ATF [slip ratio] is optimized to reduce lock up shudder so a less slippery ATF [Redline High temp] or decreasing the ATF temperature will increase the viscosity which will automatically increase the pressure.

If the shift time increases as the tranny warms up in summer say from 5 minutes after a cold crank to 10-15 minutes you know the viscosity is one of the problem.

The problem with increasing the pressure is its effects on non worn parts which may dramatically reduce the units life.

Level Ten in New Jersey are the experts on modifying trannys for racing.

The JWT trimode tcu has a power 1st gear start position, along with normal 1st and 2nd gear start for snow. This unit increases the duty cycle on the pressure solenoid to allow the tranny to stay in gear longer and does crispen the shifts if the tranny is not worn!

Once damage is done by an overheat then not changing the ATF immediately there is nothing that will heal it.Once the hundreds of clutch plates are warped or the seals degraded by heat only rebuilding will solve the problem.

Excess idling in gear [overheats] and each extra shift [traffic] are the cause of units demise. Other than moving you can't get away from traffic or working the 8-4 am shift. Keeping the ATF fresh, clean, and red and below 176F is something you can easily control!

this would be nice huh ?

got no use for it since i have a stick but i thought you warm climate automatic guys might like it

I think this is a better design B&M 70297 . But will it fit?

Probably not, or if it does it'll take all the available space in front of the rad... The 70298 is perfect.

where are you guys looking? I don't see any part numbers on B&M

Mayhem, follow the link. Let the hyperspace be with you. Click on Products|Accessories|Transmission Coolers, then choose the line of coolers you would like to view.

When are they going to adjust the looney tunes clock on this board? It is set for New Caledonia as far as I can determine.

hmmm...just takes me to the home page. i'll look around some more.
