Obviously, somebody in their halfway-right mind wouldn't shift to second going 100 mph, though I'm bad to shift from OD to drive at about 60mph during a decent, and then shifting back to OD once I'm to the bottom of the hill. My dad told me about this rumor, as he tore up the transmission on his service van (a Ford Econoline series van) by doing that within a few thousand miles, but then again, he also had the thing grossly overloaded (carrying way over 10,000 pounds of electrical equipment at all times
). Not to mention whatever may have been pre-existing before it was given to him.
