Mach1, I would usually give my opinion and if someone disagrees then let them voice their opinion and let the original poster come to their own conclusion. I can't help myself in this one though..
Where I live there is a stop light every block-- block and a half, you get up to speed(about where od will hit) and you have to slow down for the light. I'm not burning anymore gas by staying in 3rd because I can't stay in od long enough to get any benifit from it. Yes, it puts wear on the od by shifting back and forth and you are surely the man to make the call on your car, I will continue to drive mine as I know the situation and the way the car is supposed to be driven.. I know by driving around town in od would cause the need for a rebuilt. You say yourself that od is the weakest link so why in the world would you want to shift back and forth with it every time you go for a ride??
I think you need to rethink your logic on this one.
