I have a '03 cavalier ls sport auto.
I'm wanting to know if they make gears, or anything else for the tranny to improve time and speed.
And anything else I can do to the car to help performance with out breaking the bank!!
Thanks for the tip, its a start to making some good horsepower. Still have more questions to come.
Thanks again
Not a bad car ,Seen better,he chopped his springs..not good!Anyways look into tourque converters,B&M ShiftPlus,many threads on improving an auto.
15.2@89mph 2.171 60ft. 9.830 1/8 R.I.P. "LULU"
Any one know where I can find a tourque convertor and a throttle body spacer for a '03 cavi auto?
The tb spacers are a waste of money bro

one thing to rememver. no matter what pick 2 of the 3. cheap, fast, reliable. whatever one you dont pick is what you have left and what the quality will be. for example. cheap, fast, the car wont be reliable. fast realiable, car wont be cheap, reliable, cheap, car wont be fast. get it?
Thanks a lot. Im not looking to buy cheap parts but im looking to do what i can when i can, and that means starting at the bottom and working my way up. Im wanting to improve the intake and tranny first, then move my way in. Thanks again for the advise and that other link in jbody helps out a ton.
Hey no prob bro

I think you might be confused with the differences between a manual and an autos set of gears. If you want to upgrade your automatic transmission you will have to replace the torque convertor, front pump assembly, valvebody assembly, disable the overdrive features, reprogram the TCM (If applicatable). It's a hell of a job even for a tech.

I know that in a rearwheel drive there are gears that you can upgrade in the axel, I was just checking if my front will drive had something simular. Or is it more of a direct drive system fromthe tranny?
with a transverse (sideways) engine/tranny, the diff is built into the transmission, which is why it's sometimes called a transaxle- the axle goes through the tranny (sorta...)
you can still upgrade the differential, but you have to open the whole tranny to do it.
Thanks a lot, that clears up a lot for me.
