any easy way to disconnect 4th gear lockout while cold
This is for the automatic xB. It won't give me 4th till the cold light goes off. I leave my driveway and need 4th right away. I don't lilke the high rpms in 3rd waiting for it to warm up. Doesent a manual shifted xB gets to use it's 4th and 5th gear while cold. why not the automatic?

this is the way it protect itself from cold. Why not consider warm up the car before you leave the driveway? Me too, I live right off the highway and need 4th gear right away. So I start the car and go back in the house for a coffee before I hit the road.

Different fluid requirements between the two trannies.
You're trying to override a safety feature because your worried about running high RPMs for a minute... Which ones going to do more damage? It's there for an engineering necessity, not an inconvenience, deal with it...
Your best bet is an remote starter.

But the original poster lives in Sac. It rarely gets in the +20's
IMO, he's just overthinking it. The difference between 3rd and O/D, if he's driving conservatively, is like 3800RPMs compared to 3000rpms for a couple miles.
I agree it's probably to hide a deficiency - it doesn't run O/D well when it's cold, that's the deficiency and he's going to bypass that to save a few hundred RPM?

Yes, it's something I'll have to get used to I guess. I just don't like it! Thanks for everyone's responses. I just wish there was a definitive answer from a transmission technician. Back in the day I rebuilt more than a few automatics (C-4, C-6, T350, T400 and PG's) and have a basic working knowledge of the guts of these things except for modern day electonics. If it effected the 5sp. cars also there would be a extreme amount of disgrunteled owners who like me leave there driveways and go straight to a 55mph+ road.
