You just missed the O/D debate! I have a 92 318 4x4 with the A-518 auto and I
always lock out my O/D unless traveling at highway speeds (50-55). In my
opinion, this takes stress off the tranny and the torque converter and will
extend its life. You may not get better gas milage, but I didnt notice too
much difference here. If I let the O/D engage at 30-35mph (normal
acceleration), it seems it takes just as much, if not more pedal to chug
along.
