Now I can't speak for all Automatic tranny EOC'ers here but, my own logical approach tells me that if/when I switch to a synthetic oil in the tranny pan, it will stay on the gears longer than traditional tranny oil. I personally do not EOC for distances longer than 1.5 miles as the terrain doesn't allow it. But in those distances I have never experienced any strange noises or smells.

What makes me cringe is having to start the engine at speeds close to 40mph and dropping it back into gear. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often.
