RE: Double low shiftin'
By Mike McQuesten - 01/21/2002 1:52:14 PM; IP 63.50.108.139
You bring back some fond memories Travis of my "double lowing" my mom's '64 XL Convert/390-4V. That shifting technique you describe to maintain second gear in a cruiso still works well with a AOD. I have a '86 'bird 5.0/AOD as my daily driver. It's just a little dog that I maintain and is very reliable. Ridiculously high geared with 2.75s and this AOD I mentioned. But when I have the rare opportunity to want to wind the weak little 302 a little, I just do the same ol'double low trick learned many years ago. Those stock AODs are terrible for upshifting way too soon.
This thread, so far...
