		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.   |
