I found this guy
http://www.rezlo.com/Pages/Converters/converters.htm
over at
www.asog.net. He makes tourque converters for the 1st gen Cloud cars (Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze) I think they offered the same auto stick tranny in them that we have. I dropped him a mail to ask him to come over here and THAT OTHER SIGHT to check us out. Hopefully he will have some insight for us on our auto stick tranny's. Or just maybe he will say I'm outa my mind for wanting him to help the PT Cruisers BTW, the above info is not verified, it's just stuff I THOUGHT i heard along the way.
