Well, I probably should just drop this, but why is that any more of an "Urban Legend" than the "Urban Legend" that changing your AFT will make your transmission last longer?

I guess I am saying that the term "Urban Legend" is a bit strong and misleading in that context. I would position it more as "debatable and supported only through anecdotal reports, which are not statistically significant."

Which could also be said of the other side of the argument.

P.S. I promise to shut-up about this topic after this post.
