sooo im goin down the street and this lil ford focus zx3 pulls up next to me... i think oh no not another one. so he revs i rev we go... i had him till he hit 3rd gear and i was just gettin out of second. then he pulled, he had me by a half a car length. but still if that 3rd gear had any power i would have beat him.... so do you guys know of anything at all that can cure this auto problem. besides a 5 speed swap?? PLEASE HELP MY BABY IS TO SLOW... maybe those cars are faster than i thought.

but no one ever answered my question... can you do anyhting to the auto in my car to make 3rd gear have more tq.

What? Like modify the tranny? AUTO trannies are made to be efficient... They're not made for performance. It's got only 4 tall gears... There are no DIY modifications that can be done to improve a tranny, in fact... I don't reccomend trying to even mess with a tranny unless you're skilled and experienced and have all of the right tools...
Simple answer... get rid of it. Swap in a manual. C50, C52, C56... 2 different 5 speeds some available with LSD, one 6 speed version w/ or w/o LSD (C56)...
