Re: What to make my auto(tip) 1.8 run w/ manuals off the line? (evanb)
Find a higher stall torque converter.That way you will leave the line at 2500 rpms instead of 1200.I dont think anyone sells a aftermarket converter for these cars yet but if you got the money anything is possible.Are you pre loading the tranny before you launch ?Left foot on break right foot pressing slightly on gas.
