O/D auto 4.10 ???
I was curious if it hurts the transmission to bring it in and out of O/D very much. What I mean is that my O/D with 4.10's now turns on around 30-35mph if I am driving normally. I don't like that and would prefer to turn O/D off untill I am up to speed. Is that a problem if say your doing that 3-4 times in a 5 minute period?

its just shifting from O/D to 3rd. Just like in a manual. So I would assume it isnt a problem. But why go back and forth in a 5min span? I do it sometimes but not that often.

The reason for going back and forth is because of 3 stop lights on my way to work. I would only be taking it out of O/D at the light and turning it back on when I am up to speed and then turning it off at the next light.....

If you want to drive around with the O/D lockout on thats your personal option to do. Persoanally I only lock it out when I race because shifting into 4th at WOT causes damage. But driving around town I rather have my transmission shift into a higher gear faster beacuse it makes my engine work less. |
