    Nasty whole in fourth gear

    Ok so my problem is that when my automatic transmission shifts into fourth gear at about 100 mhp there seems to be a huge lag in acceleration, clearly this is dut to the four speed automatic and i was wondering besides swapping for a manual what things have you done that helpes with pulling through fourth. Thanks

      hehe 4th gear is not a pull gear, its a final gear and wont allow you to pull as well. but shoot i took my car to a 100 easy just by stepping on the gas.....my 3rd maxes out at like 70 cause it doesnt pull any more and just revvs up at 5200 rpm...i had that problem since day one so i dont worry...

      but i can pull in 4th gear. well not pull but i can accelerate easilly. after 110 though nope...its slow...i just keep moderate foot pressure on the gas, not full throttle.

      o btw dont speed =). i had to cause i was late for something. a trip that would of taken me 20 minutes on the freeway took me 5 minutes hahaha!
      What makes me laugh about forums, is that no matter how much you try to help someone, they dont take the advice. Go ahead and do it the hard way.

      You got to respect what you drive, and appreciate what you have, making the best of what you got. and if that means putting CAI, HID's, a phat stereo system, and a idiot in the drivers seat...then so be it!

        not to be a smartass, but if you have a stock motor... thats your hole. when i had a f22 auto with i/h/e, i could get up to 90ish ok, but after that when it shifts to 4th it goes nowhere. its not that theres a hole, just plain old lack of power.

          If you want to fly in 4th gear on an automatic, either change the gearing size on the transmission or the easy way to get a shot of laughing gas

          A 50HP dry zex kit is cheap about $450 and safe on stock motor and work wonder on automatic in final gear. It give u that extra pulling boost that you need. your speed cut off might come up to fast if you have stock LX ECU which is like 120mph or 130mph for EX. with a chip you you should be able to disable that. My friend at the track was able to go get up to 148mph with I/E/H and 50HP shot and chip. but it the nitrous will get you to 130mph quickly while the last 18mph take forever. I think it took him about 1 minute to gain that last 18mph, but he did get to it

              Cam and compression, Mid, if you want to run. Your mods aren't much on a passenger car motor.
