I'd like to upgrade my auto tranny, but do not want to go the VB upgrade route. I want better low-end performance and smoother 1st to 2nd upshifts.

Recommendations, please?

 

and you needed 2 pointless threads for this why? Try searching...

 

This will not give you any good beneficial upgrades unless you are looking for a good launch. You will get a nice hard N->1st shift too.

 

What should I search on? Pointless responses?

I did a search, and I did not find any information on such things as (1) if a stock TC goes bad (like mine), should I replace it with an OEM or upgrade it? (2) for those who did a TC upgrade, did they do it just for better track performance or all-around? (3) was it worth the cost (which can run up to $1,000)?

The second post should have been worded differently to reflect the harsh 1-2 shift that always seems to be present. Perhaps the TC is at fault here, or maybe, the clutches or bands in the tranny need replacement. Here again, go OEM, or look for a performance upgrade?

Now, do you have anything positive to contribute??

 

check out www.levelten.com

 

Now, that's what I'm talking about.

I did check them out awhile back, and they are out of my price range.

 

just get a stock one.. www.car-part.com

 

I contributed, I dont know if it can be considered "positive" but it is informative.

 

NO LISTING FOR TORQUE CONVERTOR ON THIS SITE.

 

Look a little harder next time

 

In case you cant read the fine print, its under "TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER"

 

get a manual transmission, shift the car yourself, it's an amazing feeling! actually controlling the vehicle. incredible.

 

or you can just click on it and see the page full screen...
