Why would you wnat to? Are you talking about how it'll downshift from fourth to third, thus killing your top speed? If so, there's a fix for that. I forget what it's called, but a search will find it easy enough.

If you dont want it to downshift at all, in any gear, there's always teh option of a full manual valve body...

Why not just leave it in 'd' then? I mean, there's gotta be a way. Otherwise no auto cars would read properly...
