Good ol' Joe.....Gotta love the paranoid brother. You remind me of an old friend had that was really smart, but did to many acids. I think you really need to swap the tranny man!

How bad can it actually be just to drop it 1 gear every now and then just for a couple seconds? My tranny temps never get over 125 degrees and it's been like 85 for the past week and I've still been getting on it pretty hard too.

The reason I do this is because it does feel like it's going up a steep hill and not downshifting. They said that would be ok right? Well what if you lived on a mountain and had to do this regularly? Do you think they would still say it's ok? I'm just thinking we have a 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear option for some reason, why is it bad to use your resources? I might just be in denial and want someone to tell me that it's ok, but I would like to know exactly what gets damaged and how.

Thanx for the responses guys. Maybe I'll grow out of it, but I have to figure something out. I just don't wanna go into the tranny again anytime soon. I can't afford it anyway.
