Its actually the addition of a hydraulic line from one of the exterior ports on the trans a d running ot to the tail shaft. Of course a fitting must be drilled and tapped in the tailshaft.
Heres some mods you can do to your trans to really wake it up and make it last.

Yes. Do the j-mod and drill the plates. Or you can spend $300 bucks for a performance valve body that someone else has done this to. Mine is setup this way and I love it. Removing the lower accumulator spring for the 1-2 shift and the accumulator spring for the 2-3 will provide some awesome shifts. You can tune these to be harsher or softer in the tune. I prefer harsh. The other mods will improve flow and lubrication.

Funny story. I told Darrin at BC Automotive i wanted his nastiest valve body set up. He sent me his satndard kit which is the mods you read about in the link I posted. He said if that wasn't enough he would send me a different one that would hurt. I tried the first one. Nice clean crisp shifts, trans felt like a new animal. But it wasn't what I wanted. I said send me the other one. He did and I liked it. Still not enough. I said whats next? He said pull the pan and drop the his accumulator springs out. I did and shes perfect. Churps the tires on a half throttle 1-2 shift. 2-3 is a powerful fast shift and I love it.

In that case just remove the lower 1-2 spring and the 2-3 spring. This will provide crisp shifts that will save your clutches. Not neck snappers. Any further adjustment to firmness + or - can be made with your SCT handheld.

I'll for sure look into this. Not interested in chirping big heavy tires....not good for the weak bits
Where did you find your drive shaft at?

No not at all. I think you will be very pleased. And don't forget the firmness can still be tweaked in the tune or with the handheld SCT device. I purchased my driveshaft from driveshaftspecialist.com down in Texas. Great to work with. Paid $650 shipped if I remember correctly.
