Frugal Builder - What if I just do the MVB modifications by modifying the spacer plate between the upper and lower valve sections? TurboDIY has an informative walkthrough on modifying the A413 series of transmissions (FWD 31TH), including adding more clutches, band modification, and full manual capability using the OEM valve body... I guess I'd love to know if I can keep fluid pressure modulation based on throttle by doing this?

Like I said, I don't want elephant-kicking-you-in-the-ass-end shifts, especially when I have my Son in the van with me. I'm really looking to have more control over when my transmission is shifting, but keeping it civil.
