adding weight would probably make shifts occur earlier. Since with a Subaru engine you want to raise shift points some, and you remove weight to accomplish that. page 37.17 in Bentley talks about adjust the rod length I've been talking about. there are two discussions there , one for early automatics, one for the later. just glancing at it, it looks to me like they are speaking mainly of the kick-down feature with the rod length, but I think it also affects when the trans shifts up in normal driving.
