Sounds like what you really need to do is study polyrhythms. I have this book, which comes with a CD:
http://www.amazon.com/Polyrhythms-Musicians-Guide-Peter-Magadini/dp/0634032836
I had a piece with a 3 against 2 to start. Then I progressed to a 3 against 4. Sometimes I do 5 against 4 or worse (thanks, Chopin!) but it's helped me understand how to play polyrhythms.
There are also a few good videos on various polyrhythms on youtube, e.g.
