With my upper grill block, my transmission was not happy doing EOC in neutral with my automatic. I used to just EOC a short distance into my driveway to land and that seemed OK. But it didn't seem to like the 1/3 mile EOC coast downhill to a corner, 45mph to 10mph. The manual says it can be towed at up to 35mph for a limit of 50 miles. The OD off light is coding every time now after about 5 min from start. The OD drive seems to work fine and I can't perceive any difference. I am trying to get more specifics on the code. I think it is tranny overtemp. The engine never overheats with the grill block and WAI.
Also my power stearing seems worse now. I have reduced my grill block in front of the tranny cooler for now, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. This panther is worth $2,500 and a fun test vehicle. I wouldn't EOC with the $30,000 panther I have
