I have one from Joel and it does have the earlieir model valve body. My experience has been that a late model valve body will always have some "flare"on 2-3 shift. Even when I could get one to shift with minimal flare, it wasn't long before it would get progressively worse as clearances changed. It's an inherent timing problem in the late model vlave body, so I'm told.

I believe this to be true, as I have had the same experience. The early ones don't get the flare.
