Re: Best overdrive
Several years ago we reviewed the various overdrives that went into the torque tube. Each has a plus but the Mitchell seems to be more versatile because you can shift in and out of overdrive at any time, where the Borg Warner you need to have the ability to "coast" slightly when engaging it, which means that you can't shift into overdrive if you are climbing a hill. We like being able to engage 2nd high on some of the passes we have encountered. But the Borg Warner is nice on the flat lands. We have around 50,000 miles on the Phaeton with the Borg Warner and about 25,000 miles on the sedan running the Mitchell. The other plus to the Mitchell is it is all new nothing to machine or work on just pull the old torque tube and install the new one with the Mitchell.
