Auto Transmission mods

they are VERY similar but not identical. There is a huge thread discussin the differences between the focus tranny and the protege tranny. I think MacDaddy knows a good bit about them.
Here's the rules though....
use good fluid (synthetic with a high tolerance for heat...i.e. redline)
keep up line pressure (valve body)
run a small tranny cooler to lower temps.

A 'shift kit' BACK IN THE DAY consisted of a few ball bearings and a new gasket for the valve body to change when/how hard the tranny shifted.
They work. My 72 Impala w/ 350 and the turbo-hydro350 could 'catch second' (albeit a small bark! ) after the kit. I was well pleased as a pimply BIg Country Pimp in my jacked-up (with coil sping spacers) primer-black 8-track playing 'Boston' with a 'booster/EQ' putting out 10%THD... sigh.
Is ti worth it for our cars? Prob'ly not. Spend the dough on engine mods. (My $.02 worth...)
