is it possible to change the ratios of a 3 speed automatic transmission for a 83' TG Gemi? i wanted quicker takeoff and about 3000 rpm @ 100 kmsph. also is it possible to put a b&m shift kit in it without getting a full recondition? i asked the transmission place in town and was told that i had to leave it as it was because the ratios couldn't be changed and a shift kit would "blow up" the gear box. thanks for your help.

yeah that seems to be the best way to go, for some odd reason the gearbox monkeys work in harmony to work the extra gears
