The shift to/from 3 and 4 is the weak point on that automatic. The fewer shifts between the 3 and 4 the longer it will last. I turn the OD off all the time and only turn it on for the highways.

Turning the OD off is also good for hills and passing.

There are a small number of knobs that retain the OD apparantly. The only ones I know of are Ford Europe ones. One is wood grain with chrome button and the other black with a chrome button. There is at least one aftermarket one out there but I don't know who makes it.
