Need some help from experienced gearheads

[bustedneon]

Ok to start of with I now am the proud owner of a 97 ex civic 2 dr, BUT auto tranny. I would like to "have some fun with it" but first would like to beef up the drivetrain, starting with the tranny, first is it a good idead to get the torque converter first? ok second I need some personal experience here... I want the trans to shift faster and firmer HOW do I do this ??? I know on my old neon there are shift kits and I could choose for race and street use in side the car with a switch (awsome) now I found a electronic shifter called the "PTS shiftronic" has any one used this, is this only for cars that allready have the sports shifter (were you controll shifts on an auto by bumping it up or down). will it work on my civic, what all will be required for me to do ? what does this kit come with? here is a web page for the part I am looking at

OK so If this dosent work I guess I have to get the springs and valves changed in my tranny.... some info would be greatly apreciated, and please dont start arguing witch way is better just give me the info and your personal experience/ opinion. Thank you all...
