Shift Kit for Automatic

G'day;
are there any Shift Kits available for automatic Yaris,?
I used to run B&M kits in my 69 & 72 Chevelles; they were easy to install
& gave a nice crisp shift
cheers & thanx

I haven't heard of one. Will ask around. That kind of thing is rare for a car like the Yaris, unfortunately.

Unfortunately automatics of today are nothing like the ones from yesteryear. They're all computer controlled on when and how they shift. So you'd need some kind of piggyback computer to get it to shift differently. The whole valve body is operated through electronic solenoids.

I'd be willing to spend a grand or so to get some method of changing how the car shifts, namely some way to disable the whole "stay in 3rd gear until the engine is warm" programming that it has. I hate running my car at 3k RPM at 55mph, but unfortunately going below the speed limit on the roads I drive on is too dangerous.
