Default Finally !!

After a long search I finally found my dream car ! Black vert, oak interior and top, 6 speed, every option. It's a 2000 with only 13,500 mi.
This is where you guys come in. 1st to 4th.....make me crazy!! I know a little extra acceleration in first solves this, but I've read on the forum that $20 will fix it permanently !! Please tell me how and where.
As always, you are the best and most informed audience anywhere !!

Great part and works..................but as I found out, the resistor in the override was not "hardy" enough. Soldered in a 2.2K ohm 1/2 watt resistor (6 for $.99 at Radio Shack) and was back in business. Do a search and you will find. I found out when I got a check engine light.
