That is solved by LCP actually. The effect of LCP is bringing forward the torque acceleration. I've always mentioned, I could close gaps faster, accelerate much faster at low end.......one of key changes is LCP somehow switch the gear earlier than before.
Before LCP, from standstill, it takes quite a while for auto to change gear to 2 and then 3. The slow gear change actually hold the car back instead of giving it more low end power as it does not change when needed (manual has no such issue). This increased FC besides slowing acceleration speed once the low gear runs out of breath before it changes.
After LCP, when accelerating from standstill, the gear smoothly changes when its reaching a certain speed and so on to gear 3 without a hiccup unlike the stock ride. No pulling back....just smooth acceleration all the way to high speed if needed. That is why I'm in the opinion that LCP is A MUST for PE AUTO TRANNY.
Initially when I installed LCP, I keep overpressing of accelerator pedal coz used to tekan kuat sikit for car to move. After a week or so, my right foot just naturally tekan softer sikit and the car just zoom smoothly to higher speed. Vibration and sound of engine is noticeably louder and I've complained abt it, thus LCP has cons as well.
In the end, the pro of everyday driving with MUCH increased and smoother low end torque acceleration for auto tranny is just too great vs the cons of increased vibration and engine noise just......disappeared (get used to it liao). As mentioned many times, I would have abandon PE if not for the LCP mod to address the weakness of PE auto tranny gear change and low end acceleration.
