He said now with the canned Xcal3 tunes that its slamming the gears and hes chirping the tires. I have yet to ride in it with the tunes, but I would like to take a ride to make sure the shift pressures arent up too high. Because the Jmod allows for a higher volume to apply, so if the computer is also boosting shift volume, he may have too much pressure applying the clutches, then bad things start happening.
You should understand how the electronic transmission control works before just modifying something. As one of the most WORTHLESS mods, this would take the cake if you do not modify the control as well.

I understand how it works, and he put his tune on friday night so hold your horses. Even without a tune the Jmod still helped, just not as much as it did on mine

Do you understand that there is a table in the PCM that has an average shift time for each shift 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 shift. With this table the PCM will automatically adjust shift pressure to get desired time and smoothness during drive cycles.

Do you also understand that the transmission will learn a new average shift?

Eventually it'll return to the smooth shifts unless the appropriate tables are changed in the tuning.
