I have always used OD with every converter I have had. 2800 to 4400 stall speeds.

Some go one way and some the other, The only advanatage I can see to D would be the overun is on in first gear which can help support the Input sprag some what on launch. However IMO even so its a good idea to shift on to the OD position as soon as the 1-2 shift is complete.

Its a set of two frictions that come on and they can help support the input sprag during a hard launch .Kinda like reinforcements lol
