Poll: Power Drive

[etlsport]

yep im with you bart, on long trips i usually have power drive on.. but a quick run to the grocery store (or more often autozone..) i dont like power mode because it makes my transmission feel loose

I used to have it on all the time, but i notice i get this aful clunk-jerk from the rear when i brake but then have to get on the gas suddenly. Sometimes i sware i think i got a love tap in the rear by the car behind me.

so now i just use it on the freeway, but normal city driving, i'll leave it off. buuuut, my right hand just loves hovering over the button almost at all times.

Yeah, I don't know exactly what it does to the tranny with it on, but someone here can probably explain? Is it just shifting tighter?

I think the simple explanation for the power mode is that it raises the rpm shift points keeping you in the torque band for "more power".
