Why do you think you're smarter than the engineers at Ford who programmed the transmission computer? Just leave it "Drive" and let the computer figure it out. Th transmission isn't really an "overdrive", but merely a 4-speed with a higher than usual fourth gear.
Just leave it be - the computer will figure things out better than you can.
Would those be the same smart engineers who specified an inadequate fuel pump for my 1994 rig and then waited years until the end of 1996 before they fixed the problem in subsequent rigs, leaving owners of the prior rigs the expense and hassle of repairing the engineers mistake. Are those the Ford engineers we're talking about here, or do they have even smarter engineers in their transmission department.
The really smart Ford engineers are the ones who designed the self ejecting spark plugs on the V10s and V8s. Maybe they promoted out of the fuel pump department. I don't believe they ever did anything to help out the customers who had this problem. I didn't get squat when it happened to my wife's Navigator.
