I rebuilt my trans myself. 17 years ago. I have a very simple rule. That I fallow religiously. Never use more than half throttle on any climb. PIRIOD. EVER. It comes down to BTU input by way of the throttle position. I'm an active down shifter. Have a 3:70. Sometimes I'll have the engine over well over 4,000 RPM's. I up shift, or down shift manually on climbs. And always let off the throttle during shifts. I change my trans fluid every year.
Sometimes I have a contest with myself. As to how many cars can I get to pass me each mile. ( I'm so easy to keep entertained on the road.) GRIN.
