[Shotimes] ATX OD

[Midwest SHO Specialists SHOtimes]

It is indeed better for the transmission to keep it out of overdrive under
stop and go situations.  In city driving, the tc has to lock and un-lock a
fair amount and at those speeds (typically around 40mph) there is little
benefit from the OD gear anyhow.  So it saves wear and tear.
