| Torque in O.D. |
| By Ed Foral - 07/22/2002 11:18:40 PM; IP 192.44.136.113 |
You wouldn't have your transmission in O.D. with the throttle at wide open. When you get much past half throttle, the transmission will shift down into third. The AOD overdrive ratio is pretty wide from third. You would only want to use it to knock your highway RPM's down, not as a fourth gear in a performance application.
Also, a gear vendor unit does nothing to address the torque converter lock up issue. With an AOD, you can lock up your converter in 4th for even better mileage than a gear vendor unit on a C-6, and still up your converter stall for the first 3 gears if you want.
