Well here's my little story about the situation. My dad and uncle did a 58 corvette custom, and used a smashed 94 corvette. All they needed from this was the c4 drive train.

When you slowly get on the car, it sometimes misses the shift from 1st to 2nd. But if you get on it say 35-40% throttle or more it drives fine doesn't mis-shift. So idk where to look at first for that, I've never owned a automatic dsm. I'm pretty dang excited about it, I love cars in general. But to get another dsm is pretty sweet, I already took the plates of the Mercedes and plated the laser
! But the car is pretty much all stock, other than the AEM fuel rail, crappy straight through exhaust, trans pressure gauge. And the car is faded out pretty darn bad, I have a fair amount of white left over from the eclipse. Sooo come summer i'm going to cut the rust and re-paint the car white with black roof. Eventually it will get some go-fast mods, but for the time being. I'm re-doing a lot of stuff to get it back into great running shape. But here are the pictures of the vette and of the laser.

Mine is standard. I think a hopped up automatic would be nice too.
