I have an auto and the only people I have found is a company called level ten. They do rebuilds on trans and converters (which means you have to ship the tranny to them) they also have a program that lets you shift it like a 5 speed
You can find them at www.levelten.com
But as far as a kit like B&M NO and if you find one let me know. One thing alot of people have done to to replace the fuild with the B&M Trick Shift fuild it helps alot
(use only the systhetic type)
Hope this helps you out

You can do what I do...
use the shift lever
I think it's safer because the tranny controller won't let you downshift if it's gonna put the rpm in the red line...
been driving this way since i bought the car in early '98

Can someone with some experience explain the difference between manual and automatic transmissions? I think some people fail to understand that manuals {when driven properly} will usually always acclerate quicker than an automatic. One reason being that they are lighter. Another being that the gearing is usually tighter... And so on and so forth. You put up two stock Tibs, or two Accents; one being manual and one auto, and the manual is going to whip the auto's a$$ everytime.
This is basically the reason why I'm going to do a tranny swap... And while I'm at that, an engine swap too.
