so then what is gate shift?? Mines 00 and it shifts first gear by itself also. What rpm does the revlimiter kick in?

it was more aimed at your interest in making the car's throttle response better... sounds to me like the car needs to be taken to a shop/dealer and repaired before even considering doing anything like this again, i wouldnt even recommend driving past low RPMs until that point.

a TL-p is not a fast car.. and from your times it might not have been taken care of well or this is a problem with your engine

dont know what else there is to say, you need to get it checked out by a mechanic
