Good luck with the auto Mark. Interested to see how it all goes.
If I were you, I would modify my valve body first. The clutch packs will get worn sooner or latter during WOT shifting with a SC kit.
IPT's reputation dropped down because of the minor work they do vs the cost they take. TransGo seems to be developing their 5EAT kits and I would be glad to modify mine by them.
Thanks for the tips Ali,
Valve Body was done almost 12 months ago, about a month after the sc kit went on and then got another tune. After driving around in lots of varied conditions, I am not happy with the valve body timing as the shift points are too late in 1st and 2nd under WOT and on partial throttle sometime changes too quick through 2nd to 3rd.
Anyway, the slip on a dyno day last year convinced me that the clutch packs were nearing the end of life, so I decided to have all the work done in one hit and some finer adjustments to the valve body.
I will google transgo to see what they are offering, but I am locked in with my transmission guy, Kewish Automotive, as he does a lot of the Jatco boxes and was very familiar with the J507E from our Subaru's. The same base box is used in a lot of Japanese brands, predominantly Nissans (Skyline, Z, R, etc).
