Re: M-46: Why on earth design a 4+OD? 200 86

posted by  someone claiming to be r haire on  Mon Dec 11 09:48 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The people that really know the system (the Guru and V-girl to name two) consider the OD virtually indestructible if you keep fluid in it and don't bypass the 4th gear switch etc. I have to say my M46's with over 200,000 miles on them shift real well, like new. Sure you have to replace an occasional relay, solenoid o-rings, or 4th gear switch but once you get the hang of it it is not too bad. And the M46 is much stronger than the flawed design of the under lubricated M47, or so the turbo guys say.
