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.

He'll likely melt it down eventually (burn up clutche packs, etc). It drops the line pressure and there is a serious risk of transmission slippage. I'm glad it works for him (for now). But use that advice at your own (probably expensive) risk.

The 94 up fbodies do not have a TV cable. I dropped off in 93 with the 700. You would to tune the computer to adjust the tranny. BranZ

We're well aware of that, we were talking to Mike with his '87 IROC.

Trans-Go shift kit. You can select what your tranny does and how hard it shifts. I got the lightest setting, works pretty well and I enjoy autoxing it ('97 TA).

I had a Trans Go kit in my IROC years ago when it still had the trash-o-matic in it. This does not delay kick down does it? Are you just talking about improved shift firmness?

It does not help kick down, but it did help firmness and you could set it up to not over-ride your shifting. It was a pretty flexible kit as I remember.
