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.
