modifying automatic transmitions

[Zybach]

I have a 91 automatic honda accord and the acceleration is terrible. Everytime the light turns green I have to floor it for 5-6 secs before the car gets up to 30mph. Is there anyway I can fix it with out replacing the transmition? ie. changing a fuse in the computer?

[Accord Man]

did you ever change the tranny oil?!

it sounds like you need one hell of a tune up :yes:

if you want performandce mods i get a shift kit or you could shave your converter

I've never checked the transmission fluid.... could that be that much of a problem? The car has a sports option where if I press a button a green light with a "S" blinks on. I'm not sure if the car actually goes faster or if its just phycological.

Really? :rolleyes:

My car doesn't have a sports option. :mad:

BUt that's not the point... are there anyways to increase the acceleration with out tearing the car apart?

LOL I have a 92 accord, i get to 40 mph in like 4 secs from take off..... i have a catback exhaust, and everything else is stock.

you could buy a performance torque converter, JMO makes a really good one, could probobly pick it up for about 350 bucks
