Default Overdrive?
Does anyone leave theirs on? I do to save gas, but cutting it off there is a noticable performance difference. Id leave it off if gas wasnt a concern and 3.00 + a gallon and going higher. What about you?

I always leave mine on ... except for recently. Once I found out I was a snitch quicker with it, I take it off if I need a smidgent more power.

Normally on though.

On my old 98 auto I left it on, but yea, turning it off, especially on the 99-04s can make a drstic difference in performance.

I like how its conviently on the shifter too. Its like a secret weapon. You should try off it in a T-bird with the 4.6 V8. Real performance gain.

Its only on the autos. For you turning off the TC might help.
