This idea was all about driving experience and tactile feel. Bottom line is I miss my Muncie 4 speed, and the way it felt when shifting the gears. I know the typical response to that is, “well then get a Muncie and pull your 200” but the hot rodder in me just wants to experiment and find new ways to do stuff. So I run around town manually shifting my automatic pretending it’s a stick...lol but then when you let off the nose takes the monster dive as the overrun engages and engine braking occurs. No matter how much I pretended it just still felt like an auto. It wasn’t so much about a performance gain as it was perceived driving enjoyment. The overrun is a safety system but I don’t live in a hilly area and I’m sure not driving this thing in the snow or ice where engine braking would help; the locker rear would make that ridiculous. Anyway crazy as it may sound that’s the “why”. For now I’m abandoning this concept as it doesn’t matter much as the trans isn’t working right anyway. Bigger fish to fry! Thanks again!
