ECUtune effect on tranny?
Just thinking that an ECUtune would have a positive effect on the life-span of the tranny. If the engine has more power low in the RPM band (500), where most of the driving takes place, it should *technically* have to downshift fewer times when hitting the gas for passing or other acceleration. Less shifting = less fricton = less heat = longer lifespan. What do you think?

Not for SVX trannies. I would think, since the ratio is so high (3.545) that it would be better for the tranny at the higher speeds you go. Remember, it's the speed of the tranny that causes the fluid to move, and at low speeds, SVX trannies don't move a whole lot compared to ones geared lower (ie 4.11 or 4.44).
