Is is just my neon or are all automatics doggy at first in first gear? I installed a CAI and it helps but not on take off. I don't think that it is possible to spin the tires. Upper rpms are great but the lower seem to be dead. Any suggestions?

 

thatz just our auto trannys theyre crap in low end but good once you hit about 3000

 

I have to agree with Spikey, I have an auto and it sucks at takeoff too. However mine does spin the tire just enough to make a good screech....there is not really all that much you can do about it though.

 

thanks for the info, I'm glad to know that it's not just my car.

 

Yeah the autos are way slower. My grandma has an auto Neon and what a difference between the two.[X(]

 

do they make a shift improver kit for the autos? If so how much $ ?

 

Yeah; they have performannce valve bodies for the autos. I have a manual so I have no experience with it but I'd go for it.

thanks for the link.

 

you should just get a manual..... it would be better if you're gonna spend money to make it faster.

The autos....well....we can POUR more and more money into them, but it REALLY doesn't make a difference. Get the manual. Trust me.

 

I just need a reliable car for work right now. So... I guess I will deal with the slow take off. It's not bad once the rpms get over 3000rpm, it's just before it. Oh well.
