'runs like champ without down shifting 850 1993

Not to be sarcastic, but do you have actual fact that less downshifting will prolong life? I mean the transmission was designed to shift, not stay in one gear all day. Did you get this information from the manufacturer? I would be interested to hear what they have to say on this subject. And secondly, have you actually tested to see how many miles you could get on a tranny doing what you do versus using it like most other people do?

I am not trying to knock you, but this is the first that I have ever heard of anyone doing what you do with an automatic transmission.

Regards,
