Has anyone actually burn up overdrive by using it around town, or are you just repeating what you read somewhere? If your tranny is in good shape, there no reason OD wont hold up with normal street use. After all, thats what its there for.

Actually, I believe od was designed for highway use. 'Around town' and 'in town' mean the same thing to me, stop and go traffic and less than 45 mph. This puts alot of unnessary wear and could cause od to burn prematurely, it being a weak link is just describing the cause. Lentech doesn't advise using od if going less than 45mph. Your gears may/may not make alot of difference, I couldn't tell you that. I had stock gears when mine burned.

You can cetainly drive your car however you like, I'm just stating my experience with owning an aod for 11 yrs.
