Goodmorning Greystreak
sometimes I think, that my E4 is opgraded already, because all the shifts are short, and one can feel it shifts.
About the overdrive... I do have a very conservative way of driving; OD is always off under 55MPH. What I did mention about interfering in the 3-4 pack is, that sometimes when I drive let's say 40MPH, the engine runs a neat 1500 revs.... That is good but a bit more revs is nicer for the engine... I do have no experience with other tranny's but I've read the troubles with OD's and therefore I switch it off at low speed. I do think personly , that the OD is at the wrong side of the system; it's just behind the TC. That means, all the revs of the engine goes straight in the OD... In my opinion the only way to avoid a burned OD is "Off under 55".
I've did reset the system and she runs better now in idle.. the smell is gone only still some dips; I do suspect a dirty plug or I have to clean the distributorhead in side after two years of service.
Best regards and thanks very much for your input!!!
