What all can i do to make my car shift ALOT faster, and make it run more like a 5 speed. I wish i could have gotten a 5 speed, but i really didnt have a say in it. So can some people please help me out ? Thanks

If you want the transmission to shift quicker and firmer in between shifts, you need to have the valve bodies modified to increase solenoid pressures. Level 10 can do this modification, as can Don in Texas.

www.mobiletek.net (Don in Texas' website.) Go to Valvebody upgrade.

Read his instructions "How To Make A Shift Control for Your Auto Transmission." Ben's idea is not equal to a VB mod but it is easy and inexpensive.

IMHO Ben's mod won't hurt the torque converter but frequent use will shorten the life of the clutches inside the tranny.
