Just wondering, I would like the 5 speed auto and good HP / mpg numbers.

1999 4th gen or 2000+ 5th gen?

 

4th gens are 4speed auto..

 

I know the 4th gens are 4speed autos.... but why does my car shift into what seems like more than 4 gears? Sorta like like 1,2,3, 4(od), 5(od?)? ... is there like 2 gears in OD or am I totally misunderstanding the concept of OD?

 

5 speed auto..... lol


auto trannies in the 4th gen are 4 speed, not sure about the 5th gen though

Read up, son. Tons of good info around.

 

overdrive is your 4th gear, its the low one. its probably just your tranny playing a trick on you.

 

the autos in 5th gens are 4 speed aswel.

 

maybe it is playing tricks on me ... but why does it actually SHIFT then? It really does, the RPM's will drop ~200 to ~400rpm after it shifts into OD ... it's really wierd!

 

What you are seeing/feeling is the torque converter locking up after it is in 4th gear...

 

Yeah. What he said.

BTW, I used to live on Mountain View Ave., 3 blocks from Tied House brewery :-). I loved Mountain View. Ok, I loved the beer.

P

 

Whoa this is weird, I live on Mountain View Ave and I'm into microbrews and we might move to Roseville...

 

beer = good
4th gen = 4 spd auto
