Yes, that's the way the AOD is, you must be new to this.. I had the lentech valve body installed on my car about a month ago and I absolutely love it! I can hold all gears to any rpm. I have a switch for od which I almost never use, it will be good on the highway though.. although I doubt the car will see much hwy time now. Get yourself a stall convertor and the lentech valve body and you will definitely be amazed. But it comes at a cost, be prepared to spend about $550 for the valve body and anywhere from $250-700 for the stall(ofcourse I have the most expensive stall). If you don't see alot of hwy miles then I suggest you get a c4, it will be about the same money as the stall and valve body for the aod.. but you lose od.
