My jeep has never run hot or overheated and the temperature needle has always run just at the left edge of the center hash mark. Also when I come to a stop it will fluctuate a tiny bit further to left before returning to its new location. Chad wants to investigate the fluid temp differences further on a test rig with transmission temp sensors before any conclusions are made, but I just figured I'd share that part of my experience as well.

I have , miles on my Jeep and it was neglected when I bought it. To date, the trany seems to work fine, however, I have no idea what life is left on the trany. Is it worth installing a shift kit with , miles or should I hold off and wait until I buy a new transmission?

When removing accumulators from the transmission, keep the associated springs together with each accumulator and bag them in ziplock sandwich bags. You can install the VB now if you want, and this is why.
The VB will improve the immediate performance of the existing trans. It may help it last a little longer. When you acquire another transmission, just verify that the VBs are compatible and you will be able to simply install the accumulators and VB from the old transmission into the new one.

JW Performance Transmissions, Inc. We offer their entire line of dependable, quick shifting assemblies. A An automatic transmission manual valve body is a modified or aftermarket valve body which puts full control of when the transmission shifts in the drivers control. Automatic transmissions normally shift, automatically, based on line pressures, vehicle speed, vehicle load and other factors which the driver has no control over.
A manual valve body eliminates the automatic shifting function and puts control of gear changes in the drivers hands. A forward or reverse manual valve body can be used in a street vehicle for quick tire chirping shifts, full control over when the shifts take place and to make driving your high performance street car even more enjoyable. Manual valve bodies are used in most every type of competition activity involving an automatic transmission, to provide the driver with the additional vehicle control offered by having the gear changes occur on command.
