"The A960E Stage 1 street strip valve body is designed for everyday street driving and weekend trips to the drag strip.

Designed to pull heavily thru 1-4th gears at redline."

Sounds awesome just need a price.

Valve Body Stage 1:

This is the main hub for the transmission. All the solenoids and valves are located here so for the Stage 1 upgrade, SSP has modified it to have 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears engage very aggressively. There's no "slip" engagement or smooth engagement, it grabs the next gear right away. Gears 4-6 remain as stock engagement.

This means red-line gear changes get right into the next gear, it's a HUGE difference and is very much like a DCT (twin-clutch) transmission. The gear changes are this hard no matter the RPM, so even cruising you get immediate engagement into the next gear.


Cheers,
Jason

Is it 1 through 3 or 1 through 4?
1-4 makes the most sense since 5 & 6 are stretched out highway gears (I think they are both overdrive).
