What's in a valve body upgrade?

So...

I'm curious as to what's done in a tranny valve body upgrade. My real curiosity is what it is that costs $475 (IPT) or $680 from Level 10.

The only thing I've found in a search is a mention of springs being replaced, so this cost seems high considering there's my time to pull the valve body, a bunch of tranny fluid, express shipping out and back, my time to put it back together, and that you have to be without your rig for a good amount of time.


Transdude, I'm not picking on you (or anyone from the Level 10 folks) it's more of that I think I'm missing the tangible. If I'm looking to spend $$$ on a bumper, shocks, wheels, tires, etc. then I can hold it in my hand and determine if I think the item is worth the cost.

Is the cost of doing this based on us paying back the research costs?

It's "okay" if so... I just want to know how this is priced out.
