Transmission & Differential - Shift kit for automatic

I have an '04 value package sedan. I know that automatics are weak but I've got a hellacious commute through the city. Does anyone know if they make shift kits or controllers for the civic automatic? Getting used to a slushbox is hard enough but this tranny feels like it's filled with custard.

a performance converter (http://tciauto.com/sport_compact.htm) might help.

try the guys at level 10. they offer auto tranny rebuilds for high hp applications all the way to basic performance builds.
