No OD until warm up

[Infernal]

I've been having this problem all winter -- only thing is, I'm not sure its a problem. This is the first winter I've had the aftermarket exhaust, so it's quite possible that the car behaved the same way last winter but I never noticed it.

Anyway, after I take off for work in the morning my car refuses to shift into OD until the car reaches operating temp. I mean 195.

I can understand keeping the car out of OD for a little while so it'll warm up faster, but 195? Thats pushing it a bit. Thats literally like 5 miles of my trip to work. :D

My car never gets to 195 unless I leave it sitting a While for with the defroster or AC off. But it does shift different till it warms up a bit though.

My car came with a 195 degree stat stock (it says 195 on it for anyone who wants to tell me I'm wrong [img]smile.gif[/img] ) and with it in it rides up to 195 and stays there.

In the warmer weather I throw the 160 back in, but I took it out for the cold weather because my fuel mileage had dropped by over 35% with the car running so cold in 0F - 40F degree weather.

I also took the Jet chip out, and lemme tell you -- they say its hard to tell a small HP gain with the a$$ meter, but its pretty easy to feel a small HP loss with it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

my car won't shift into overdrive when cold, but as soon as it is over that first mark it will, nowhere near 195.

Mine to came with a 195 stat stock and never ran hotter than 180 while driving and would never get any hotter unless I had the defroster or AC off, which would keep the fans off until it reached 210. Wonder why the fans run all the time with the AC or defroster on
