Not a rocket scientist with automatics, but utilizing a torque converter and a shift kit will improve performance. As far as the manual transmissions, you can get an aftermarket clutch and flywheel kit along with heavy duty shifter cables and bushings. You can also get an LSD, short shifter, and double synchros. This will allow you to toy around with the gear ratios.

all automatics have a torque converter. Its just a matter of stall speed on the torque converter.

your title and what youre saying is two different things. Rebuilding the tranny has nothing to do with clutch, flywheel ...etc. These are just components that the manual transmission uses to function, and these components are separate from it. Rebuilding a manual tranny is alot more complicated process - refer to Jacks transmissions or shepard.

As far autos, the most efficient is getting it rebuild and get those manual shifter boxes that allows you to shift with a touch of a button

yeah true that but in the long run wouldnt m/t long up longer.

That would depend on how the driver drives the car and how he/she takes care of it.

I am looking into getting a fully built a/t. where could get a shift box from?? that would be a lot better for control. do they have one for our transmissions? are they universal? where could i find one?
