One thing I've always wondered is if the performance of the slushbox could be improved by changing the chain drive ( I am assuming it is basically the same as the manual, although I know the sprockets and gear ratios are different). The change to type 8s in my 5-speed was a fantastic improvement and I've even wondered about buying a set of the 8.5's or 9's that some European vendors offer.
I wonder what taller gears would be like in an automatic? I think you'd probably need to do a Trionic conversion to get over what taller gears would do to first in an automatic, but I can generally start in 2nd (if I wanted to) since my Trionic upgrade. Type 8s or 9's might make the highway issues of the automatic more manageable. Trionic upgrade is a thing of beauty by the way - magical transformation of the 900T. More so thatn I'd ever even imagined.
