I'm trying to determine if this sluggish starting is the "nature of the beast" of the auto transmission or some other problem. It seems to crap out/stall at around 2500 RPM above 3000 RPM runs fine. If it is just the nature of the beast then I'm thinking gears and a stall kit.

What do you think?

If the car is stock then its normal,,, called lack of power! not being crude but sn autos without alot of work just suck!

Yes I believe it is stock. So some lower gears and a stall kit would help?

Thanks

Well gears for sure! you dont need a higher stall without higher power! a shift kit yes stall no!

Gears, shift kit, and aftermarket trans cooler will get you moving along nicely.

be cheaper to just change to a manuel trans. just my opinion

AdderMk2

your opinion is WAY wrong...

A shift kit is a under a hundred bucks, and an aftermarket cooler is like.. $50.

Show me where you can do a complete 5 speed swap for under $200..

Between the trans, clutch system, cross member, pedal assembly, cables, wiring.. MUCH more expensive, and extensive than you realize!
