Automatic shifting

Ok guys...here we go...i have heard that you can get a mod that can make your automatic shift like a manuel...i think someone told me like a Valve Body or somethin like that...anyways if anyone knows that this is true or knows anyway to get my auto to shift like a mnauel i would like to know....

Thanks..

p.s. and forget about the 5 spd conversion...not worth it to me..

well you could search and find a s#$tload of info on it, or just check all the threads already posted about it, but yes it is very true, it has been found to increase i know some 1/4 times by atleast .5 seconds

Re: Automatic shifting

It does not shift like a manual transmission. It only makes your automatic shift INSTANTLY. It'll be so much faster than your stock shift that your head will snap, your tires will bark, and you will have trouble keeping that smile off your face.

So, your automatic tranny will shift and function the same exact way and still shift at the same points. But, you will have some fast shifts. This mod is also known as a "shift kit". Also, do a search on "valve body". Make sure you get a "Maximum Tuning" VB. Do a search on that also.
