Beat on it a little....its designed to drive like stock until you jump on it, then everything firms up.i just installed this tonight and wow it couldn't be easier and less messy, i had a small drain pain and let the back side of the pan down first and let it all drain out then lowered the pan completely and dumped it out.... although i do have some concerns after the drive...
the jeep feels exactly like stock. shifts are identical.... any thoughts? i drove it easy and hard, checked fluid with tool and still feels like stock, very bummed about the results
are there any exterior visual differences between the stock and BB valve body? i compared them before installation and they do look similar
No visual differences that I could see. When I had mine the only differences in mine were on the down shift.i just installed this tonight and wow it couldn't be easier and less messy, i had a small drain pain and let the back side of the pan down first and let it all drain out then lowered the pan completely and dumped it out.... although i do have some concerns after the drive...

How does something thats been modified mechanically essentially "break in" as your saying??Beat on it a little....its designed to drive like stock until you jump on it, then everything firms up.

That's what I was thinking...sorry for the bad wording..I could be wrong but I think it has more to do with the tcm relearning as you have increased the line pressure in the tranny from the modified valve body. Hopefully Bill will chime in later when he gets to MIR with a better explanation.

The valve body is designed to drive like stock, as somebody said, but its when under hard load, that's when it downshifts better than it would stock, or if you had blue tops. Blue tops are supposed to be a harder downshift and not as crisp. There is no break in per se, I think he was referring to the different shifts at different loads. It also might be more evident if you had a built tranny. Not sure how much just the valve body does on its own, but I know people love em. Bill will respond and let you know, I'm sure.well ive been driving this thing a littler harder and faster each day and nothing seems to be changing??
Bill i hope you see this soon, any ideas?
Why don't you PM him your concerns instead of hoping he sees this thread?well ive been driving this thing a littler harder and faster each day and nothing seems to be changing??

this is exactly why im concerned, i see lots of ppl saying "holy shit" what a difference it made, but i can honestly not say that....I installed mine a couple weeks after I put the SC on and I saw an immediate difference in how it shifted at WOT.
I had a friend of mine install it and there is definitely a difference. Even if I'm not slamming on the gas, the Jeep shifts into gear quicker/harder. At WOT, it's a freaking animal. Did you reset your TCM adaptives after the install?this is exactly why im concerned, i see lots of ppl saying "holy shit" what a difference it made, but i can honestly not say that....
are there any other 2010 models that have installed one? and noticed any differences
