Rebuilt Valve Body
Hey guys, been a long time. My wagon needs a replacement valve body. I've narrowed my choices right now to the Nextgen Economax, or the Revmax towing H.D. unit. Anyone have a review on either unit? I.m leaning towards the Economax because I like the idea of an anodized switch valve bore. Thanks

Well, I guess I'm the guinea pig. I just ordered one yesterday. I'll post an update when installed.

Re: Rebuilt Valve Body
So, last weekend I installed the unit from Nextgen Drivetrain love it. After the quick learn took a long test drive and it 100 percent took care of the P0871 code and super clunky shifting in the upper gears. After many stop and go light throttle runs to perform the drive learn it really feels tight. My original valve body had been "massaged" by the shop that rebuilt the trans at 160K and had developed problems and pressure leaks... honestly it never felt right but they insisted it was fine, it also worsened over time. Looks like I caught it soon enough as the fluid was still fresh and there was absolutely no debris of any kind in the pan. It's probably the cleanest pan I've been in with 35K miles of use.
