If you still have a Powerglide or TH350\/400 transmission, you&#8217;re more than likely running some fairly high RPMs on the highway. With an overdrive transmission, you drop the RPMs on the engine and the entire car will smooth out giving you a much more comfortable better-driving car.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c1a855a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c1a855a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/QA1-52522.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-52774\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/QA1-52522.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/QA1-52522-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ss396.com\/cars\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/QA1-52522-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10ede98 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"10ede98\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lastly, upgrade your suspension to a modern tubular control arm.
