Oddly enough, it was while driving I-68 through West Virginia that I
was most impressed with the way the LHS' trans worked. Maybe yours was
an earlier iteration that didn't have all the bugs worked out yet? Not
sure what year my friend's car is. actually it is not a straight up
LHS, it is a Concorde that some crazy body shop guy blew up the motor
in; he bought a wrecked LHS for the drivetrain. Apparently a motor
swap ended up being one of those "because I can" insane projects...
The car ended up with the LHS' drivetrain, complete interior, nose, and
a Viper Red paint job. Yeah, it's a weird car.

My experience with Chrysler trannys on I-68 is the same as yours. Worked
flawlessly, automatically downshifting (when the cruise was engaged) when
going downhill to keep "run-away" speed in check. I'd never experienced
what Eugene has on any of them (and I've driven a few).

My '95 Concord with the 3.3L engine on cruise control downshifts
beautifully automatically to avoid overspeed on downhill.
A '05 Impalla I rented last Sep. didn't. >:) |

When a factory is closed down the asset value gpes straight down
The asset value of GM is overblown
Factory not producing cars with workers on pay will really take the
asset value down and fast
I am sure glad to have been able to sell all my GM stocks in time

They could have gotten rid of the automatic headlights and DRLs
instead, and nobody would care. As it is, I have a lot of features I
could care less about but I'm still annoyed about a) the wipers and b)
the lack of a fold down rear seat.
