So I got my '94 TA up and running and decided to take it to a local auto cross to get some seat time. The car happens to have a 4L60E automatic trans. I never autocrossed with an automatic before but figured it wouldn't be a big deal. There is one less pedal after all. Boy was I wrong. First of all the shifter only goes down to "2" on this car. There's no option to lock it into first gear which would have been ideal because it was a small course. Secondly, by leaving it in any of the other gear settings it has a nasty habit of downshifting into first about half way through my corner exit and making me go into massive oversteer. I figured it would have stayed in the gear I selected ie 2nd.

My question is this: What can I do to either lock the car into a gear or be able to shift into first on demand with the shifter to add predictability? Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah I don't really want to be messing with the TV cable any more then I have to. The rear trans seal is leaking so I'll probably replace that, pop in a vette servo, add new gears (to correct the speedo), install the trans cooler and just leave it at that. When it finally does goes I'll probably be doing the manual controlled automatic if I can afford it at the time. I'll just hone my sliding skills in the mean time.
