get a shift kit. it will decrease the overlap time in the shifts and prevent the clutches from burning. Level 10 has the Hydrosystem which is their shift kit.
wanna know something interesting? the auto tranny on the se-r and the 1.6 are designed almost exactly alike. The se-r has more clutch plates in it's high clutch pack which controls 3-4 shifts... other than that it's only the valve body that is different. the se-r has electronically controlled valve body while the 1.6 is completely hydraulically controlled, which isn't that bad really, you don't have to screw with all the elctronics!
I'm not saying the dimensions are all the same, just they share a lot of parts.
